Nicholas A. Kotov (born August 29, 1965, in Moscow, USSR) is the Irving Langmuir Distinguished Professor of Chemical Sciences and Engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI, USA.[1] Prof. Nicholas Kotov demonstrated that the ability to self-organize into complex structures is the unifying property of all inorganic nanostructures.[2][3] He has developed a family of bioinspired composite materials with a wide spectrum of properties that were previously unattainable in classical materials.[4] These composite biomimetic materials are exemplified by his nacre-like ultrastrong yet transparent composites,[5][6] enamel-like, stiff yet vibration-isolating composites, and cartilage-like membranes with both high strength and ion conductance.[6][7][8][9]
