Beyond biomimicry: Next-generation applications of bioinspired materials from microfluidics to composites

Room: Room ASB 10704, Bldg: Applied Sciences Building, 8888 University Drive, SFU - Burnaby, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6

For over 20 years, bio-inspired materials have been explored for diverse applications, including climbing robots, pick-and-place systems, skin adhesives, and space technologies. Research has advanced an understanding of nature’s nanotechnology and its artificial adaptations in areas like gecko adhesives and structural colour. However, the commercial success of these materials has not matched products like Velcro.... Read more →
