Morphology Genetic Materials Templated from Nature Species

Morphology Genetic Materials Templated from Nature Species is a detailed study of bio-inspired functional materials and their engineering applications. The book offers a comprehensive understanding of biomimetic strategies involving biotemplate, biomineralization, and biomimesis with natural species, as well as functional materials with hierarchical bio-architectures, which inspire innovative applications in various fields.The authors focus on the synthesis, properties, and applications of various functional materials created using biomorphic chemistry. They discuss the synthesis of (Fe203), Nickel Oxide (NiO), Zinc Oxide (ZnO), and biomorphic Al2O3 and SnO2 using cotton as biotemplate, and biotemplate fabrication of SnO2 and TiO2 materials using a sonochemical method. The book also presents biomorphic functional metal oxides from plant leaves, and the different applications of synthesized biomorphic materials.The book includes research on morph-genetic materials inspired by natural butterfly wing scales, diverse hierarchical bio-architectures, morph-genetic composites based on plant materials, and hybrid nanocomposites derived from reactive natural scaffolds. The optical and gas sensing properties of butterfly wings, hybrids, and replicas are discussed in detail. The authors also highlight the high light harvest efficiency photoanode used in solar cells. The morph-genetic materials with diatom and bacteria as templates, and hybrid nanocomposites with natural photonic crystals as matrices are also discussed.Morphology Genetic Materials Templated from Nature Species is recommended for researchers and graduate students in the fields of materials science, chemistry, nanotechnology, semiconductor, biotechnology, and environmental engineering. It provides insights into the research advances on functional materials inspired by natural species and can be a valuable reference for future developments in the field.
