Bio-inspired approaches to design smart fabrics
The nature’s intrigue plans to create structures from nano-micro to mesoscale has inspired researchers to design artificial object with novel and extra ordinary properties. Recently, the convergence of biomaterials and polymer advances from nano- to micro-scale with new experimental and computational tools has provided the opportunity to constitute increasingly complex fabrics for the textiles industry.

This paper uses a bio-inspired design strategy based on tree branch joints to improve the damage tolerance of co-cured composite T-joints. The design of tree branch joints at different length scales from the microstructural to the macro-length scale was investigated. X-ray computed tomography of a pine tree revealed three main features […]
