摘要

At first sight, one might wonder how Biodiversity can spark the interest of engineers. The study by biologists or environmentalists of species and ecosystem diversity seems a far reach from the concerns of the Engineering world. But this apparent dichotomy has become narrower as previously well-delineated research domains are blended into integrative research programs that harness interdisciplinary skills from both the physical and life sciences. In recent years, there has been a rapidly growing interest in the field of "Bio-Inspired Engineering" or "Biomimetics", which aims to study natural biomaterials and structures with unexpected properties and to gain inspiration for the creation of smart, multi-functional, and biocompatible materials. Biological structures, from butterfly wings and sea shells to gecko feet and Venus's flower basket, to name just a few, are offering numerous insights and inspiration to engineers and scientists. Ultimately, the technological interest of biomimetics aims to create analogs of biological materials using clean chemistry synthesis.
