Abstract
Naturally grown materials like wood are optimized by nature for their specific mechanical stresses and living conditions. Knowledge of the construction principle of naturally grown materials is important for material science. It can be used to design new biomorphic materials. The natural structure of wood and other tissues could be transformed into a ceramic material with new unique properties. In this review, the most important processing methods and properties of biomorphic ceramics based on native wood are presented.
