Handbook of biomineralization: biomimetic and bioinspired chemistry

Featuring an international team of renowned authors who provide first-hand research results, this second volume of Handbook of Biomineralization deals withbiometic model systems in biomineralization, including the biomineral approach to bionics, bioinspired materials synthesis and bio-supported materials chemistry, encapsulation, and the imaging of internal nanostructures of biominerals. Combining all the modern and interdisciplinary aspects of biomineralization, this first comprehensive overview of this burgeoning field is a must-have account for biochemists, bioinorganic chemists, lecturers in chemistry and biochemistry, materials scientists, biologists, and solid-state physicists.
