Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over millions of years of evolution, creatures have developed properties to combat wretched conditions, where micro-/nano-biostructures are playing a big role. For a long time, human beings have been absorbing nature’s wisdom to accelerate the development of science and technologies. In recent years, to cope with the environmental pollution crisis and global warming crisis, the fields of micro-/nano-structure surfaces have developed significantly for super hydrophobicity, superoleophobicity, antireflection, etc. On the one hand, the tools with which to achieve bio-inspired micro-/nano-structures, especially for hard materials of metals and dielectrics, pose a new challenge. On the other hand, how to expand the application scenario of these structural devices is critical. As a promising and versatile tool, laser combined with other processing technologies has been utilized to manufacture functional structures and devices.
In this regard, we would like to call for submissions of articles aimed at the fabrication/application of biomimetic structures using laser processing technology.

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.
