Abstract

Non-covalent interactions are a ubiquitous mechanism directing assembly of natural materials. Similarly, these types of interactions have become an important component of emerging approaches in biomaterials science. In view of the emerging importance of bio-inspired materials in medical applications, this chapter will be focused on describing the fundamentals of intermolecular interactions and their applications in biomaterials science. The particular focus will be on processes and structures that mimic the natural ECM.
