SUMMARY:Masterclass I: Innovation in Biomimetic Materials (Nanotechnologies)
DESCRIPTION:Masterclasses remain a central part of UT Austin Portugal’s 2020 Annual Conference agenda. These thematic and highly-specialized sessions feature renowned experts in their fields. \n  \nDescription of Masterclass I\nBiomimetic materials are designed to replicate one or more attributes of a material produced by a living organism. Throughout the millennia\, nature has evolved to adapt and develop highly sophisticated methods to solve problems. There are numerous examples of functional surfaces\, fibrous structures\, structural colours\, and highly catalytic\, self-cleaning\, self-healing and thermal insulation materials\, among others\, which offer important lessons for the materials of the future. \nSome of these solutions may have inspired humans to achieve outstanding outcomes. For example\, the strength and stiffness of the hexagonal honeycomb may have led to its adoption for use in lightweight structures in airplane and in many other applications. \nBiomimetic research is a rapidly growing field having a huge potential for the development of new and sustainable materials that can only be realized through interdisciplinary research rooted in a holistic understanding of nature. \n  \nRegistration \nRegistration is now closed. \n  \nSpeakers\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\nKeith Keitz\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering\, The University of Texas at Austin\, USA\nAdrianne Rosales\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering\, The University of Texas at Austin\, USA\nMartin Lopez-Garcia\, Group Leader in the Natural and Artificial Photonic Structures and Devices Laboratory in the Nanophotonics Department\, INL\, Portugal\nJoão Mano\, Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry\, University of Aveiro\, Portugal\n\n  \nScientific Coordination\n\nBrian Korgel\, T.
