This book will serve as a primer for readers to understand recent
advances, applications, and current challenges in the field of
Engineered Living Materials. The chapters cover core science and
engineering research areas, including (1) advances in synthetic
biology and genetic programmability for Engineered Living
Materials, (2) functional Engineered Living Material for
application in energy, electronics, and construction, and (3) novel
manufacturing approaches for Engineered Living Materials at
multiple scales. The emerging field of Engineered Living Materials
represents a significant paradigm shift in materials design and
synthesis, in which living cells are used to impart biologically
active functionalities to manmade materials. The result is a
genetically programmable augmentation of non-living matter to
exhibit unprecedented life-like (i.e., living) capabilities. At the
intersection of synthetic biology and materials science, the field
of Engineered Living Materials exhibits unprecedented promise and
potential to alter the way we synthesize new materials and design
medical devices, fabrics, robotics, commodity polymers, and
construction materials. Materials with attributes of living systems
can be engineered with an ability to respond to their environment
and designed to self-repair in response to physical or other
stresses or detect the presence of specific stimuli, such as light,
heat, pressure, or hazardous chemical compounds. Although nascent,
scientists and researchers in the field of Engineered Living
Materials have made marked advances in demonstrating a potential to
revolutionize a multitude of science and engineering disciplines.
This volume will define the current state of the art of Engineered
Living Materials, and highlight grand opportunities and challenges
that abound at the nexus of synthetic biology and materials science
and engineering.
