A multi-scale model for fluid transport through a bio-inspired passive valve
Tillandsia landbeckii is a rootless plant thriving in the hyper-arid Atacama Desert of Chile. These plants use unique cellulose-based microscopic structures called trichomes to collect fresh water from coastal fog. The ...
From nature to organic (bio)electronics: a review on melanin-inspired materials
(2021-11-07)
Melaninis a generic term evoked for a broad class of indole/quinone-based natural pigments, mainly known for its primary role in photoprotection. Throughout the last couple of decades, melanin and melanin-like materials ...
Sulfated polymers in biological mineralization: a plausible source for bio-inspired engineering
(2004)
Biomineralization leads to the formation of inorganic crystals with unique, ordered, refined shapes that are regulated by specific macromolecules. This process has been a source of inspiration for exploring novel approaches ...
Nature-Inspired Protecto-Flexible Impact-Tolerant Materials
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020-01-01)
The search for impact-tolerant, light-weight flexible materials has challenged materials scientists and engineers for decades. In this quest, many researchers have focused on studying natural armor as a guide to propose ...
