Abstract
What if we could design materials that integrate powerful concepts of
living organisms – self-organization, the ability to self-heal, tunability, and
an amazing flexibility to create astounding material properties from
abundant and inexpensive raw materials? This talk will present a review of
bottom-up analysis and design of materials for various purposes – as
structural materials such as bone in our body or for lightweight compos-
ites, for applications as coatings, and as multifunctional sensors to
measure small changes in humidity, temperature or stress. These new
materials are designed from the bottom up and through a close coupling
of experiment and powerful computation as we assemble structures, atom
by atom. Materiomics investigates the material properties of natural and
synthetic materials by examining fundamental links between processes,
8 structures and properties at multiple scales, from nano to macro, by using
systematic experimental, theoretical or computational methods. We
review case studies of joint experimental-computational work of biomimet-
