This book examines advances in these emerging materials classes and investigates how their tailor-engineered properties, such as specific surface energy or refraction index, enable the design of devices and ultimately the ability to solve complex societal problems that are, in principle, impossible with traditional materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this book is to survey the scientific foundations of the design and properties of bioinspired materials and metamaterials and the way they enter engineering applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces the physico-chemical foundations, theoretical groundings, and main equations of biomimetic and metamaterials science\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes how to develop and design these advanced materials and their applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures end-of-chapter problems to help readers apply the principles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurveys achievements including metamaterials cloaking and the negative mass effect\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasizes ecological aspects of materials science\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text is intended for materials engineering students who have completed courses in general physics, chemistry, and calculus, as well as researchers in materials science and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575634321646,"sku":"9781032014036","price":168.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/bioinspired-materials-and-metamaterials-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
