Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomimetic smart materials refer to the design and preparation of new materials with intelligent response-ability by simulating the structure, function, and characteristics of organisms. This Special Issue focuses on the design and fabrication of biomimetic smart materials that draw inspiration from the structures and functions found in nature to achieve innovative applications and enhanced performance. This Issue mainly discusses the relevant theoretical basis, design principle, preparation method, and frontier application of bionic intelligent materials, covering the whole process from basic theoretical research to practical application, aiming to promote the development and application of bionic intelligent materials. We will explore the diversity of biomimetic materials, including their capabilities in adaptive behavior, sensing, and intelligent responses, as well as their potential applications in engineering, medicine, and environmental contexts. By examining the new fabrication methods and in-depth analyses of biomimetic design principles, this Issue aims to showcase how nature's wisdom can drive advancements in materials science.
The deadline for the submission of the Special Issue is 20 April 2025. We welcome contributions from researchers and engineers to share their latest findings and foster collaboration within this interdisciplinary field.

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.
