Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart materials, characterized by their ability to respond to external stimuli in a controlled and predictable manner, hold tremendous promise for revolutionizing various industries and sectors. Concurrently, advancements in bionic engineering, inspired by biological systems and processes, have led to the development of highly efficient and adaptive technologies. By combining the principles of smart materials with insights from biology, researchers can create technologies that are highly efficient, adaptive, and responsive to their environment, with applications ranging from healthcare and robotics to sustainable infrastructure and beyond.
The Special Issue delves into the interdisciplinary domain of smart materials and bionic engineering, where cutting-edge research and innovation intersect to create revolutionary solutions. By integrating principles from materials science, engineering, biology, and robotics, researchers are pushing the boundaries of what is possible, paving the way for transformative technologies with applications across various domains.
