Biomimetics and bioinspired processing of advanced ceramics involves mimicking or drawing inspiration from the strategies and processes used by nature to develop advanced ceramic materials with a high degree of control over their microstructure, mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and various physical chemical properties. Structural and morphological features such as those found in seashells, bones, wood, self-assembly materials, as well as calcareous concretions and cements, zeolites and self-healing materials can all be produced from bio-related processes. Biomimetic processing has applications in a broad range of fields, such as glass/ceramic production, thin film deposition, durable structures construction, biomedical implants fabrication, aerospace and biomedical engineering as well as nanomaterials and nanobiotechnology. Bioinspired techniques can also be used to improve the cost-effectiveness of production and fabrication of certain ceramic materials as well as decreasing the environmental impact of the production process. By utilizing biomimetic strategies, advanced ceramics can be produced with improved performance and reduced energy input into the manufacturing process.
