Abstract

Biological organisms produce organic-inorganic nanocomposite composites that are hierarchically organized in composition and microstructure, containing both inorganic and organic components in complicated mixtures. The process related to the generation and regeneration of organic-inorganic complex in nature is called biomineralization process. Understanding how the process operates in a biological environment is a valuable guide to the synthesis of novel advanced material and developing important industrial processes. Like the mechanism of organisms, mollusks were also synthesized from interaction between organic matrices and minerals and their morphology was designed through biomineralization. In this study, shell formation has been studied as a bio-model and the application of biomimetics based on biomineralization is focused.

자연에 존재하는 생명체들은 유기-무기 성분들이 포함된 미세구조로 이루어진 계층학적으로 복잡한유-무기 나노 복합재를 합성한다. 자연에서 진행되는 유기-무기 나노복합재의 생성 및 재생 과정은 생광물화과정으로서 생물학적 환경에서 진행되는 생광물화과정의 연구는 신물질 합성에 대한 단서를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 산업적으로 중요한공정의 개발에 있어 귀중한 지침으로 활용될 수 있다. 연체동물 역시 생광물화과정을 수행하는 다른 생명체들과 마찬가지로 단백질과 다당류로 이루이진 유기매트릭스와 무기물의 상호작용을 통하여 패각을 설계하고 합성한다. 본 고찰에서는 이매패류의 패각 형성 과정 연구를 기반으로 아울러 생광물화과정 연구를 기반으로 한 소재합성과 관련된 생체모방공학 기술을 고찰하였다.
