The text provides an extensive overview of biomimetic and bioinspired materials, covering topics ranging from fundamental principles to advanced applications and future trends. It explores the introduction to biomimetic and bioinspired concepts, the book progresses through synthesis methodologies, membrane technologies, and multifunctional coatings, and moves into dynamic application areas such as biomedical engineering, energy harvesting, and heat management. Particular attention is given to the integration of additive manufacturing and 4D printing technologies, which are unlocking new possibilities for fabricating complex, functional, and adaptive materials.This book: Provides an extensive overview of biomimetic and bioinspired materials, covering topics ranging from fundamental principles to advanced applications, and future trends. Examines how natural structures influence the design of new materials for diverse applications and explores the potential for breakthroughs in fields such as architecture, materials science, and energy technology. Offers practical guidance by discussing characterization methods, surface coatings, additive manufacturing, and materials integration, enabling readers to understand how biomimicry can be applied in real-world scenarios. Investigates the development and applications of materials with self-healing and adaptive properties. Discusses methods such as biomimetic templating, biomineralization, and molecular self-assembly and examines the implications of these techniques on material properties and performance. It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in materials science, mechanical engineering, corrosion, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, and surface engineering.
