The completion of biomimetic will be the best solution to the challenge of the industrial field while drawing the wisdom of nature into human life. In this study, by revealing and mimicking the physical and hydrodynamic features of nature, interesting biomimetic materials are developed especially in environmental and biomedical fields As an environmental application, water harvesting and storage devices are introduced mimicking stems and roots of cactus which is a master of water management to survive in arid desert. These technologies will help the fields where the efficiency of fluid management has attracted wide interest. Meanwhile, as a biomedical application, multi-functional artificial cells are generated inspired by stimuli-responsiveness of living cells. At the organ level, inspired by plant leaf an evaporative micropump is developed. These biomimetic materials will greatly contribute toward solving hydrodynamic problems by offering a new perspective that did not exist before. |
