Biomolecular materials
The BioMolecular Materials (BMM) group seeks to understand and utilize biological design strategies for materials. In many cases nature serves as an inspiration for how high performance materials can be designed. Examples of such materials are the mineralized structures in seashells, silk fiber, and the adhesives of many marine organisms.
BMM is part of the The Center of Excellence in Life Inspired Hybrid Materials (LIBER) /en/liber
