Biomimetics and Nanotechnology

The study of natural materials and creating of their similarities from the construction, structure and material point of view is relatively new and a perspective field, connecting results of scientific research in biology, chemistry, physics, material engineering, construction and design. At present time, a lot of these results are transferred into the industry applications. As we can see natural materials could become a source of inspiration on field of materials, technologies and construction as well as on field of nanotechnologies. This paper introduces a number of natural materials and suggests to architects and builders of construction materials to use these natural materials in their designs and for proper application
