    Biological materials - bioinspiration on different length scales
    (Saarbrücken : Leibniz-Institut für Neue Materialien, 2011) Weiss, Ingrid
    This article investigates nacre and peacock feather rachis from a molecular and structural point of view, in addition to unifying principles in nature that may control hierarchical functions. This biological material serves as an example for deciphering basic principles in nature that may subsequently be used to design new artificial materials and structures.
