Biomimetics, Volume 8, Issue 7

November 2023 - 49 articles

Cover Story: The basic principle of extreme biomimetics is to use chemically and thermally stable renewable biopolymers for the development of novel, functional composite materials using unexpected and sometimes daring methodological approaches. In our study, we engage in uncovering a unique centimetre-sized 3D Goethite–Spongin composite with previously unreported magnetic properties. It has been created using powdered iron, crystalline iodine and proteinaceous spongin as a structural template. We unravel its intricate design using cutting-edge techniques such as SEM, XRD, and CMXRF. Our discourse extends beyond mere laboratory investigation. This iron-oxide-based composite displays considerable potential for practical applications, particularly as an electrochemical sensor for detecting dopamine in human urine samples. View this paper
