This book, by a leading thinker with 30 years experience in the
field, is the first devoted to fibrous composites in biology. It
tackles a major unsolved problem in developmental biology - how
does chemistry create architecture outside cells? Fibrous
composites occur in all skeletal systems including plant cell
walls, insect cuticles, moth eggshells, bone and cornea. They
function like man-made fibreglass, with fibres set in a matrix. The
fibrous molecules are long, extracellular and water-insoluble and
to be effective they must be orientated strategically. The
underlying hypothesis of this book is that the fibres are
orientated by self-assembly just outside the cells during a mobile
liquid crystalline phase prior to stabilization. The commonest
orientations of the fibres are plywood laminates (orthogonal and
helicoidal), and as parallel fibres. These may be imitated in vitro
by liquid crystalline chemicals. The book takes an
interdisciplinary approach and will be relevant to biologists,
biochemists, biophysicists, material scientists and to liquid
crystals chemists.
