研究目的
To develop a coherent workflow for the fabrication of engineered objects that are self-similar to biological objects, specifically diatom frustules, using nano-XCT and 3D printing techniques.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a workflow for creating self-similar, bio-inspired structures from diatom frustules using nano-XCT and 3D printing. This approach has potential applications in materials science, mechanical engineering, and biology for visualizing and replicating complex biological structures.
研究不足
The size of the biological samples and the resolution limitations of 3D printing technology may affect the accuracy and detail of the engineered objects. Future work could explore optimizing the mechanical properties of these structures.
