MBSE 250: Bioinspired Materials
Units: 4
Examines the chemical and physical mechanisms behind a range of natural materials with intriguing combinations of properties that can serve as inspirations for materials design. Covered topics include: analysis of chemical bonding schemes found in nature, structure-function relations in natural tissues, damage repair and self-healing abilities in the context of bonding and structure, hierarchical assembly mechanisms and their relationship to optical and mechanical properties, and sustainable materials.
