Abstract

Nature’s exquisite designs are a constant source of inspiration for materials scientists, yet our ability to replicate biological interactions in engineered systems is often limited. Biological systems exist in perfectly balanced environmental conditions that regulate their functionality. A major obstacle in exploiting biological interactions in macroscale materials is a lack of understanding of how environmental changes, including scaling, affect the intrinsic molecular functionality of the biological unit, ultimately impacting macroscale behaviour. This paper explores our approach to understanding complex behaviours across multiple length scales and how we use this information to rationally design protein cross–linked hydrogels.
