Oberflächenfunktionen aus stochastischer Strukturvariation
Abstract
In contrast to the precision requested in industrial processing, biological structures only seem to possess a perfect, uniform regularity. Within the recurring patterns and periodic self-similar structures a randomly acting variation appears to be present. The main goal of this work is to elucidate whether these variations are irrelevant or related to the particular functionality of a surface or if they are just a result of stimulus- environmental interaction and genetical predisposition. The diversity within the entire structural system may have an equally large influence on the respective function as the structure itself.
