Bioinspired materials are materials that are inspired by natural biological structures and processes. The goal of bioinspired materials research is to create materials that mimic the properties and functions of biological materials, such as strength, flexibility, self-healing, and responsiveness to external stimuli. This field combines principles from biology, materials science, chemistry, and engineering to develop new materials with unique properties and applications. Examples of bioinspired materials include self-healing polymers, superhydrophobic surfaces inspired by lotus leaves, and adhesives inspired by gecko feet.
