Sažetak
Biological materials are complex composites that are hierarchically structured and multifunctional. Their mechanical properties are surpassingly better than those of synthetic materials with similar phase compositions. Thus, biological materials are inspiring materials scientists in the design of novel materials. In this article we are discussing the structure and properties of abalone shell. Abalone shell is a biological hard tissue composed of inorganic and organic components. It possesses a segmented layered structure, which provides an excellent combination of strength, toughness and thermal insulating properties. Biomimetics (bionics) is studying this kind of systems in biology with the intent of reproducing the similar artificial. Some of the processes and techniques used for creating those biological structures have been described and also some examples of application are given.
