  • Call for papers: Materials Research Society Fall Meeting 2005

    Symposium L: Mechanical Behavior of Biological and Biomimetic Materials
    Materials Research Society
    Fall 2005 Annual Meeting
    November 28-December 2, 2005

    Abstract Deadline: June 21, 2005


    Contributed papers and posters are solicited in the following areas:

    * Multi-scale mechanical characterization and modeling of natural
    biological materials including mineralized tissues, soft tissues, and plant
    materials

    * Multi-scale mechanical characterization and modeling of biomimetic
    materials including artificial organs, tissues, implants, bioactive
    coatings, and bio-inspired graft materials

    * Changes in mechanical properties in biological and biomimetic systems due
    to biological or biochemical processes such as wound healing and growth
    factor additions

    * Comparison between the mechanical behavior of biological materials and
    their counterpart biomimetic materials

    * Time-dependent mechanical behavior and testing techniques used to
    characterize hydrated biological and biomimetic materials

    * Mechanical characterization of structural features in tissues such as a
    cell membranes or processes, cement lines in bone, or the dentin-enamel
    junction

    * Techniques for characterization of biological and biomimetic materials at
    the ultrastructural level, including nanoindentation and scanning probe
    techniques
