Abstract
For all nature’s sophistication, many of its clever devices are made from simple materials like keratin, calcium carbonate, and silica which nature manipulates into structures of fantastic complexity, strength, and toughness. In the past few decades, materials scientists have shown increasing interest in studying the whole variety of biological materials including hard and soft tissues, and to use discovered concepts to engineer new materials with unique combinations of properties. This paper aims at elaborating the development of such biomimetic materials by compiling the ongoing researches. In this regard, the research developments of some newer materials by other investigators have been presented here. Brief details of the development of Gecko feet inspired sticky-bot, Mini-viper model robot, Clothes that change colour, Snakes imitating robot, Robot scorpion are discussed. In these elaborations, it is shown that these biomimetic materials can be effectively used in a large variety of application in near future.
