This course will discuss the origin of several materials that exist in nature from a technology perspective and strategies to replicate them using synthetic materials processing protocols. Silicates, carbon-based materials, abalone shells, bone, etc. will be used to discuss the fascinating architecture developed by nature. Similarly, several functional structures designed by nature such as Gecko tape and IR sensors will be discussed for designing bio-medic structures and devices. NOTE: Not offered every year.
