This project focuses on the study of seed coverings to understand their structural diversity and evolutionary significance. It aims to develop advanced imaging techniques to explore the micro- and nano-scale properties of these biological materials for applications in biomimetic design.
Seeds enclosed in maternal tissue are an important evolutionary plant development as they protect the embryo in many different environments.
The protecting coverings are very heterogeneous in structure and origin due to different seed dispersal strategies and environments designed for.
The ones having hard outer coverings are commonly called nuts and their shells have recently become of interest for biomimetic research as they represent hard and tough lightweight structures with biological and e…
