Advanced Materials for the Future: Protein-based Materials with Potential to Sustain Individual Health and Societal Development

Abstract

The industrial revolution of the Nineteenth Century was born of the water-to-steam phase transition. As implicit in the last three chapters and explicit in the Epilogue, biology was born of the inverse temperature transition. As argued in this chapter, the advanced biomaterials renaissance of the Twenty-first Century will also have been born of the inverse temperature transition.
