Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bionics has been featured with distinctive multi-disciplinary properties since its birth. The vigorous development of fundamental research in bionics in recent decades has further promoted multi-disciplinary integrated innovation. In particular, combining the advantages of fundamental disciplines such as mechanical engineering, materials science, physical chemistry, biology, and medicine, bionic engineering has embodied and engineered the ideology of “learning from nature but going beyond nature”, showing imaginative engineering application prospects. Moreover, the comprehensive sustainable development in bionic engineering application fields, such as bionic intelligent robots, bionic functional materials, bionic medical engineering, and many other emerging research branches, also greatly expand the research boundaries of traditional fundamental disciplines. Therefore, it should be meaningful and beneficial to assess the development vein of bionic engineering, and thus accurately predict its future development trends, by focusing on the unique role of bionic engineering in promoting multidisciplinary integration. This could also help researchers in the multi-disciplinary field grasp the frontiers of bionic engineering research.
This Special Issue mainly focuses on the latest research progress and original insights in bionic engineering for boosting multidisciplinary integration, including, but not limited to, the topics of bionic innovative design, bionic material preparation, bionic engineering application, and so on. We sincerely invite biomimeticians, biologists, mechanical engineers, materials scientists, and chemists from all over the world to contribute to the Special Issue. We also would like to together create an international, open, and shared academic exchange platform for researchers in the bionic engineering field and jointly promote the high-quality development of bionics in the interdisciplinary field.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs).
