COVER STORY Polymers Meet Biomimetics |
| Species have evolved and adapted into specific “forms” and have created functional “systems” that are in harmony with their environment by employing complex schemes that have facilitated increased energy savings and efficiency. These evolutionary events have been achieved through trial and error based on the laws of physics and chemistry. The term biomimetics refers to the development of products that are based on the morphology/structure, function, and activities of natural organisms. Polymeric materials play a crucial role to achieve a global sustainable development based on biomimetics. Here, we would like to introduce recent research that is receiving increased attention in biomimetics based on polymer science. Editors: FUJII, HAYANO, AKIYAMA, MASHITA, and MATSUNO |
