BS ISO 18457:2016 provides a framework of biomimetics for the development of materials,
structures, surfaces, components, and manufacturing technologies.This International Standard specifies the principles of biological systems, and especially the performance
of biological materials, structures, surfaces, components, and manufacturing technologies that provide
the motivation and reasons for biomimetic approaches. It specifies the methodology based on analysis
of biological systems, which lead to analogies, and abstractions. The transfer process from biology to
technology is described based on examples of biomimetic materials, structures, surfaces, components,
and manufacturing technologies. This International Standard describes measurement methods and
parameters for the characterization of properties of biomimetic materials. This International Standard
provides information on the relevance of biomimetic materials, structures, surfaces, components, and
manufacturing technologies for industry.This International Standard also links to other subareas in biomimetics because fundamental
developments in materials, structures, surfaces, components, and manufacturing technologies often
form the basis for a wide variety of additional innovations. It provides guidance and support for all
those who develop, design, process, or use biomimetic materials, structures, surfaces, components, and
manufacturing technologies. This International Standard can also serve for those who want to learn
about and investigate these topics.Cross References:ISO 18458VDI 6224-2:2012VDI 6220-1All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
