This video introduces the field of Natural Materials and Biomaterials. It introduces Biomimetics, and the importance of learning from natural materials (such as wood, nacre or silk). It then moves on how understanding the structure of animal tissues (bones, muscle, etc.) is key for the suitable design of different kinds of biomaterials to be employed in tissue regeneration and repair. The main families of biomaterials, and important considerations in their design are highlighted. View the video to get a glimpse on this interesting topic!
