This book discusses the current direction of the research approach to extreme biomimetics
through biological materials-inspired chemistry and its applications in modern technology and
medicine. It is a resource covering topics of extreme (psychrophilic and thermopilic)
biomineralization solvothermal and hydrothermal chemistry of metal oxides and nanostructured
composites and bioinspired materials science in a diverse areas. The authors review the
current advances in the extreme biomimetics research field and describe various approaches
introduced and explored by their respective laboratories. ¿ Details the basic principles of
extreme biomimetics approach for design of new materials and applications ¿ Includes numerous
examples of the hierarchical organization of hydrothermally or psychrophilically obtained
biocomposites structural bioscaffolds biosculpturing biomimetism and bioinspiration as
tools for the design of innovative materials ¿ Describes and details the principles of extreme
biomimetics with respect to metallization of chemically and thermally stable biopolymers.
