Functional Micro- and Nanostructured Surfaces: from Biology to Biomimetics
Beilstein Nanotechnology Symposium 2023
Topics 2023
The scope of this conference was to provide an interdisciplinary platform for discussions of novel developments and trends in the field of biological and bio-inspired surfaces. Topics encompassed functional mechanisms as well as the characterization of biological surfaces with different functionalities: adhesion, friction, wear-resistance, wettability, photonics, etc. Based on this knowledge, a further key topic was the consideration of structural principles in biological systems as potential models for the generation of novel technical surfaces and their implementations into engineering systems.
The following aspects were covered at the symposium:
/ biological surfaces and physical principles of their functioning
/ technical bio-inspired micro- and nanosctructured surfaces
/ tribological surfaces: adhesion, friction, wear-resistance
/ wettability and self-cleaning
/ photonical surface
