High-Performance Polyimides with Enhanced Solubility and Thermal Stability for Biomimetic Structures in Extreme Environment. [PDF]

Biomimetics (Basel)
Designing the high-performance polyimides (PIs) for the biomimetic structures, which are used in extreme conditions, remains greatly challenging, due to the conflict between processability and thermal stability. Here, we report a series of silicon–alkyne-functionalized diamine-based polyimides that exhibit remarkable processability and thermal ...

Synthesis of nanostructured chitin–hematite composites under extreme biomimetic conditions

RSC Adv., 2014
Chitin of poriferan origin is a unique and thermostable biological material. It also represents an example of a renewable materials source due to the high regeneration ability of Aplysina sponges under marine ranching conditions. Chitinous scaffolds isolated from the skeleton of the marine sponge Aplysina aerophoba were used as a template for the in ...

Biomimetic Superhydrophobic Films with an Extremely Low Roll-Off Angle Modified by F16CuPc via Two-Step Fabrication

Nanomaterials, 2022
Superhydrophobicity is the phenomenon of which the water contact angle (WCA) of droplets on a solid surface is greater than 150°. In the present paper, we prepare a superhydrophobic film with a structure similar to the surface of a lotus leaf, which is composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), zinc oxide (ZnO), a molecular sieve (MS) and 1,2,3,4,8,9,10 ...

Novel nanostructured hematite–spongin composite developed using an extreme biomimetic approach

RSC Advances, 2015
The characteristic mineral-free fibrous skeletons (made of structural protein-spongin) of H. communis (Demospongiae: Porifera) was used as a structural template in hydrothermal synthesis of hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles.

Gaining Insight into the Deformation of Achilles Tendon Entheses in Mice [PDF]

, 2021
Understanding the biomechanics of tendon entheses is fundamental for surgical repair and tissue engineering but also relevant in biomimetics and paleontology. Examinations into the 3D tissue deformation under load are an important element in this process.

Polysaccharide-Derived Ice Recrystallization Inhibitors with a Modular Design: The Case of Dextran-Based Graft Polymers

, 2022
Ice recrystallization inhibitors inspired from antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are receiving increasing interest for cryobiology and other extreme environment applications. Here, we present a modular strategy to develop polysaccharide-derived biomimetics, and

Bioinspired Mechanically Robust Organic–Inorganic Hybridized Bio‐Adhesives With up to 50% Inorganic Components by Bi‐Continuous Phase Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A robust plant protein adhesive was prepared by fabricating a bi‐continuous organic–inorganic hybrid structure. Compared with traditional organic–inorganic hybrid adhesives, the addition amount of inorganic phase is increased from 0.2%–3.0% to 50%, and the strength and toughness are increased by 6 and 121 times, respectively.
