From page 127...
... By studying and mimicking complex biological structures and processes, engineers can now design materials and devices with novel features and enhanced properties to help solve problems in a wide variety of disciplines, from health care to small-scale electromechanical devices. In this session, the presenters highlight bio-inspired, biomimetic, or bio-derived technologies and innovations and look ahead to what the future may hold in this field.
