This paper provides a general overview of the potential of bioinspired textile structures by highlighting a few specific examples of pertinent, inherently sustainable biological systems. There are numerous examples of functional surfaces, fibrous structures, structural colors, self-healing, thermal insulation, etc., which offer important […]
Although there have been significant advances in bio-inspired armor, most protective materials fail to shield joints and other flexible parts of the body from harm. However, researchers have recently looked towards a species of mollusks called chitons for inspiration for a new form of protective gear. These […]
