aIn biological materials, structure and function are integrated at all scales, starting from submicron features. The understanding of these features and their relations to the materials overall response and motion is fundamentally critical in developing new bioinspired and hybrid material systems. Below is...
To address this problem, this paper proposes a number of design strategies and methods, such as direct function-structure/material mapping; behaviour-assisted mapping; behavioural process-assisted mapping; procedure of applying these mapping methods; hierarchical conceptua...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a functional material-enclosing structure having good dispersion stability, and to obtain an ink composition having stable dispersibility in a solvent, by preventing cohesion due to interaction between particles, and having good color developing properties and fixing prop...
In such devices, it is the active material that imparts the functional behavior to the device as a whole, while the exact response of the device is determined by the structure and how the functional material is integrated with the rest of the structure. Without the structure, the functional ...
structure:(1)phytoferritin contains a specific extension peptide(EP) at the N-terminal while animal ferritin lacks.The EP is located on the exterior surface of protein,which recently has been found to act as a second ferroxidase center for iron-binding and oxidation,and regulate iron release ...
Functional graded material can be differentiated by varying the composition and structure progressively over its volume, consequently in corresponding changes in the material constituents. From: Reference Module in Materials Science and Materials Engineering, 2017 ...
Since the primary function of the meniscus is to resist and disseminate the forces across the articulating surfaces, the mechanical properties of the meniscal implants play a major role in their function16,17. Isotropic materials with different mechanical properties, such as material stiffness, are be...

Our hierarchy of principles, methods, and equipment comprises the first half of our structure; the second half is formed by our “manufacturing triangle,” to which we turn our attention now. Show moreView chapterExplore book Design Approach, Philosophy, and Normal Approach Design Model Anthony ...
Such interfaces in heterogeneous matter are not two-dimensional (as suggested by the term ‘interface’) but consist of three-dimensional interlayers, the atomic and electronic structure and the chemical composition of which are usually in complex disorder. In the case of very small particles the ...
