Biomimetic materials

Biomimetic materials are synthetic substances designed to imitate the structures, functions, or properties found in nature. By studying how natural materials like shells, plant fibers, or animal tissues achieve strength, flexibility, or self-healing, scientists develop advanced materials that replicate these features. These biomimetic innovations can lead to stronger, lighter, more durable, or more sustainable products used in medicine, engineering, and other fields. Essentially, they harness nature’s time-tested solutions, adapting them through modern science to improve human-made materials in an efficient and eco-friendly way.
