Abstract

Bone, teeth and shells are complex composite ceramics which are fabricated at low temperature by living organisms. The detailed understanding of this fabrication process is required if we are to attempt to mimic this low temperature assembly process. The guiding principles and major components are outlined with the intent of establishing non-vital fabrication schemes to form a complex composite ceramic consisting of an organix matrix inorganic crystalline phase.
