Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue, titled “Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Biomimetics of Materials, Functions, Structures and Processes 2025”, which will collect papers invited by our Editorial Board Members.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a venue for networking and communication between Biomimetics and scholars in the fields of biomimetic materials addressing function, structures and processes. This Special Issue will include papers offering a fundamental understanding of biological materials, translating nature’s design principles in solving engineering challenges through innovative materials with fascinating structures, properties and functions that combine bio-based, bio-hybrid and synthetic approaches and processes enabling us to mimic biological structures and introduce biological functions. All papers will be published open access following peer review.
