A Bioinspired Composite Finger With Self-Locking Joints

By EvanFrick On March 21, 2021 · Leave a Comment · In 2021 SP Team 31, 2021 SP Week 06, Biol. Discoveries translated into devices

This letter presents a bioinspired composite finger with self-locking joints that can perform long-time and high-load (27.8 N) grasping tasks with low power consumption. Inspired by the ratchet wrench, the self-locking joint includes a ratchet mechanism to provide a large grip force for the finger through mechanical interlocking. The finger uses two shape memory alloy […]

Thriving artificial underwater drag-reduction materials inspired from aquatic animals: progresses and challenges

By EvanFrick On February 21, 2021 · Leave a Comment · In 2021 SP Team 31, 2021 SP Week 03, Researchers

In the past decades, drag-reduction surfaces have attracted more and more attention due to their potentiality and wide applications in various fields such as traffic, energy transportation, agriculture, textile industry, and military. However, there are still some drag-reduction materials that need to be deeply explored. Fortunately, natural creatures always have the best properties after long-term […]

Bio. Discoveries Translated into Devices: Re-designing materials for biomedical applications: from biomimicry to nature-inspired chemical engineering

By EvanFrick On February 14, 2021 · Leave a Comment · In 2021 SP Team 31, 2021 SP Week 02, Biol. Discoveries translated into devices

Gathering inspiration from nature for the design of new materials, products and processes is a topic gaining rapid interest among scientists and engineers. In this review, we introduce the concept of nature-inspired chemical engineering (NICE). We critically examine how this approach offers advantages over straightforward biomimicry and distinguishes itself from bio-integrated design, as a systematic […]
