Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Bionics has had distinctive multi-disciplinary properties since its birth. The vigorous development of core research in bionics in recent decades has further promoted multidisciplinary innovation. Combining the advantages of disciplines such as mechanical engineering, materials science, physical chemistry, biology, and medicine, bionic engineering has embodied and engineered the ideology of “learning from nature but going beyond nature”, demonstrating the visionary prospects of its engineering applications. Moreover, comprehensive and sustainable development in fields that could benefit from bionic engineering applications, such as bionic intelligent robots, bionic functional materials, and bionic medical engineering, among many other emerging research branches, also greatly expand the research boundaries of traditional disciplines. Therefore, it is beneficial to assess the development of bionic engineering and accurately predict its future development by focusing on the unique role of bionic engineering in promoting multidisciplinary integration. This could also help researchers in multidisciplinary fields grasp the frontiers of bionic engineering research.

This Special Issue mainly focuses on the latest research and original insights into bionic engineering that boost multidisciplinary integration. This may include, but is not limited to, the topics of bionic innovative design, bionic material preparation, bionic engineering applications, etc. We invite biomimeticians, biologists, mechanical engineers, materials scientists, and chemists from all over the world to contribute to this Special Issue. We would also like to create an international, open, and shared academic exchange platform for researchers in the bionic engineering field and seek to promote the high-quality development of bionics together.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
