Speaker: Ahu Gumrah Parry
Bioinspired hierarchical materials and composites
Abstract- Nature has mastered manufacturing hierarchical materials using supra-molecular organization of small building blocks using the most abundant elements such as Carbon, Silicon, Calcium, Magnesium, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Most common structures in nature like skeletal or soft tissue constructions as well as non-living mineral matter organization stems from the shapes and interfaces at nanoscale creating a fascinating array of multifunctional and multipurpose materials. Ahu’s research aims to understand and stimulate material interactions from molecular level to nano and macro level interfaces and therefore develop new materials with novel optical and mechanical properties. In this talk Ahu will focus on surface interactions in natural adaptive materials and our approaches to mimic and fabricate such hierarchical surfaces for antifouling and anti-microbial surfaces.
