Biological solutions to enhance strength and stability often use hierarchical composite structures. The effect is not based on large chemical variations, but instead is realized by structural composites with long-range order. Laser Interference Metallurgy is a newly developed technique that utilizes this biological approach to optimize the mechanical properties of surfaces and thin films. The possibility of scaling mechanical properties is quantitatively analyzed and compared with the biological approach.
