Oceanic inspiration for biomaterial formation â investigations into biomimetic synthesis and characterization of inorganic oxide materials inspired by sea sponges and diatoms
The work presented in this dissertation focuses on biomimetic studies of two systems of biosilification: a subset of unicellular algae, known as diatoms, and sea sponges. Chapter I introduces the topics represented in subsequent chapters, including biomineralization, biosilica deposition in sea spon...
