Biomimetics is based on nature, while technology is based on
economy. One of the solutions for a sustainable society is to learn
a grand design of technology from nature. Methods that mimic nature
have a long history in various fields. Now is the time to use
biomimetics as a starting technology design. Biomimetics is gaining
a great deal of attention not only in materials and mechanical
engineering but also in the ecosystem that comprises city planning,
agriculture, and forestry. Informatics is being added to
biomimetics to support its diversity and cross-disciplinarity. This
book will inspire the undergraduate and graduate students,
researchers, and general readers who aim to develop technology for
sustainability. Edited by Profs Akihiro Miyauchi and Masatsugu
Shimomura, two prominent nanotechnology researchers, the book is
their second volume on biomimetics. The first volume, Industrial
Biomimetics, also published by Jenny Stanford Publishing, focused
on the engineering aspect of biomimetics.
Presents cutting-edge research in biomedical engineering from
materials, devices, imaging, and information perspectives All
chapters are results of collaborative research in engineering and
life sciences Useful resource for researchers, students, and
general readers in biomedical engineering
Biomimetics is an innovative paradigm shift based on biodiversity
for sustainability. Biodiversity is not only the result of
evolutionary adaption but also the optimized solution of an epic
combinatorial chemistry for sustainability, because the diversity
has been acquired by biological processes and technology, including
production processes, operating principles, and control systems,
all of which differ from human technology. In the recent decades,
biomimetics has gained a great deal of industrial interest because
of its unique solutions for engineering problems. In this book,
researchers have contributed cutting-edge results from the
viewpoint of two types of industrial applications of biomimetics.
The first type starts with engineering tasks to solve an
engineering problem using biomimetics, while the other starts with
the knowledge of biology and its application to engineering fields.
This book discusses both approaches. Edited by Profs. Masatsugu
Shimomura and Akihiro Miyauchi, two prominent nanotechnology
researchers, this book will appeal to advanced undergraduate- and
graduate-level students of biology, chemistry, physics, and
engineering and to researchers working in the areas of mechanics,
optical devices, glue materials, sensor devices, and SEM
observation of living matter.
Nanoimprinting has grown rapidly since it was proposed in 1995 by
Prof. Chou. Now machines, resins, and molds for nanoimprinting are
commercially available worldwide. The application fields of
nanoimprinting are expanding to not only electronics but also
optics, biology, and energy because nanoimprinting is a simple and
convenient method for nanofabrication, and some devices are now
being mass-produced. In the near future, the application of
nanoimprinting in display and semiconductor fields is expected.
This book explains the fundamentals of nanoimprinting in terms of
materials, processes, and machines. It also describes the
applications of nanoimprinting in optics, biology, energy, and
electronics. In addition, it includes as many practical examples of
nanoimprinting as possible. The fundamentals will help advanced
undergraduate and graduate students understand nanoimprinting. The
examples will be useful for both researchers working in
nanoimprinting for the first time and engineers involved in
research and development of various devices using nanostructures.
