2. Some remarkable natural structures
Biomaterials in living organisms generally display composite structures between biomolecules and the inorganic compound. They are perfectly organized over several orders of magnitude, and the morphology of these architectures is adapted to certain specific functions such as mechanical strength or light focusing. A large number of these organisms are listed in the works of S. Mann and S. Weiner
