COVER STORY Neo-Biomimetic Materials |
| “Neo-Biomimetic Materials” are appealing materials that
show highly developed bio-mimicking functions taking inspiration from
nature. European researchers are leaders in this attractive field. This
development establishes a new trans-disciplinary scientific field by
the formation of a human network among biologists and materials scientists.
Industrial
researchers also expect biomimetics to bring a green product innovation
process based on new developments in material design and production technology.
Biomimetic basic research and industrial applications on polymer materials
in Japan are featured in this issue.
