| Abstract Scope |
Bioinspired materials that are able to mimic the structure and properties of biological materials are of interest to a wide range of scientific and engineering fields. When looking to create these bioinspired materials it can be advantageous to focus on those structural design elements that have been shown to provide significant mechanical advantages by a variety of species in nature. Here we mimic these structural design elements with a variety of fabrication techniques (with a focus on the application of energized fields) such as freeze casting, aerogel synthesis, biotemplating, and FDM printing. Applications in biomedical materials and advanced composites will be discussed. |
