It is widely known that the availability of lightweight structures with excellent energy
absorption capacity is essential for numerous engineering applications. Inspired by many …

Designing and manufacturing multi-functional, lightweight and high-performance body
armour materials and assemblies have attracted intense attention recently due to fast …

The Bouligand structure, which is found in many biological materials, is a hierarchical
architecture that features uniaxial fiber layers assembled periodically into a helicoidal …

The study of biological materials and bio‐inspired materials science is well established;
however, surprisingly little knowledge is systematically translated to engineering solutions …

Since the discovery of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in 2003, significant progress has been
made in the field, specifically advancing aspects of their preparation and physicochemical …

Bouligand structures across several species invariably hold the mechanical foundation for
the survival of living organisms. Transcribing them into synthetic analogues will promote the …

The Bouligand structure in some arthropods is a hierarchical composite comprised of a
helicoidal arrangement of strong fibers in a weak matrix. In this study, we focus on the …

Ceramics are usually composed of randomly oriented grains and intergranular phases, so
their properties are the statistical average along each direction and show isotropy …

Inspired by cuttlebone, this study proposes a bioinspired metallic sandwich structure with
matrix material of Ti-6Al-4V prepared by selective laser melting method. The bioinspired …

Biomineralized composites, which are usually composed of microscopic mineral building
blocks organized in 3D intercrystalline organic matrices, have evolved unique structural …
