Several examples are presented showing their direct application in different technological fields such as microfluidics, photonics, biotechnology and aerospace engineering, between others. The effects of the microstructure and topography on the macroscopic properties of the studied materials are discussed, together with a detailed review of 3D imaging techniques UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-17782-8 ER -
