Renewable chitin from marine sponge as a thermostable biological template for hydrothermal synthesis of hematite nanospheres using principles of extreme biomimetics

Bioinspired Materials, 2015
AbstractChitin originating from marine sponges possesses a unique nanofibrillar network structure that is the basic element of the microtubular scaffold-like skeleton of these organisms. Sponge chitin represents an intriguing example of thermostability, as it is stable up to 400 °C.

Can past failures help identify vulnerable bridges to extreme events? A biomimetical machine learning approach

Engineering with Computers, 2019
With limited resources to properly maintain and upgrade transportation infrastructure, bridges often end up exceeding their expected service lifespan; thus, becoming vulnerable to the adverse effects of aging and extreme loading conditions. In order to better assess the vulnerability of these structures, this study showcases the outcome of an ...

Biomimetic models of cytochrome P-450. A doubly tailed manganese(III)–tetraaryl porphyrin; an extremely efficient catalyst for hydrocarbon oxygenations promoted by 30% H₂O₂

J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1991
MnIII–porphyrin 1, bearing an imidazole axial ligand and a carboxylic group juxtaposed on opposite sides of the porphyrin plane, is an extremely efficient catalyst for the activation of 30% H2O2 in hydrocarbon oxygenations carried out in CH2Cl2–H2O; initial rates at 1 min up to 500 turnovers min–1 at 0 °C in the epoxidation of cyclooctene are obtained.

Biomimetic biomass-based composite carbon aerogels with excellent mechanical performance for energy storage and pressure sensing in extreme environments

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
The poor mechanical properties of biomass-based carbon aerogels after carbonization severely limit their application in pressure sensing and energy storage for wearable devices and electronic skin. In this work, a supramolecular assembly structure was designed inspired by the unique microstructure of natural wood for the preparation of biomass-based ...
