“…In terms of aircraft wing's navigation where energy absorption is as important as other mechanical parameters such as flexure strength, etc., Prakash et al [238] developed a cashew nut-inspired bionic structure using 3D-printed high-stiffness lignin-ABS core and industrial hemp with aluminized glass fiber epoxy skin. The addition of 30 vol% Alglass and hemp fiber with lignin-strengthened ABS core (60 vol%) significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of the composite.…”

Friction, wear, and the consequent energy dissipation pose significant challenges in systems with moving components, spanning various domains, including nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) and bio-MEMS (microrobots), hip prostheses (biomaterials), offshore wind and hydro turbines, space vehicles, solar mirrors for photovoltaics, triboelectric generators, etc. Nature-inspired bionic surfaces offer valuable examples of effective texturing strategies, encompassing various geometric and topological approaches tailored to mitigate frictional effects and related functionalities in various scenarios. By employing biomimetic surface modifications, for example, roughness tailoring, multifunctionality of the system can be generated to efficiently reduce friction and wear, enhance load-bearing capacity, improve self-adaptiveness in different environments, improve chemical interactions, facilitate biological interactions, etc. However, the full potential of bioinspired texturing remains untapped due to the limited mechanistic understanding of functional aspects in tribological/biotribological settings. The current review extends to surface engineering and provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of bioinspired texturing that exhibits sustainable synergy between tribology and biology. The successful evolving examples from nature for surface/tribological solutions that can efficiently solve complex tribological problems in both dry and lubricated contact situations are comprehensively discussed. The review encompasses four major wear conditions: sliding, solid-particle erosion, machining or cutting, and impact (energy absorbing). Furthermore, it explores how topographies and their design parameters can provide tailored responses (multifunctionality) under specified tribological conditions. Additionally, an interdisciplinary perspective on the future potential of bioinspired materials and structures with enhanced wear resistance is presented.

This study investigates the effect of adding annealed‐silane modified biosilica and waste cotton microfiber into the vinyl‐based composite on load‐bearing properties. The primary objective of this study was to unveil the significance of annealing treatment on the biosilica and its effect on composite's properties. The biosilica was prepared from waste barely husk ash and the waste cotton microfiber was used as received. The composites were fabricated using mold casting method and their properties were assessed in accordance with ASTM standards. Among the composites examined, the VCB2 displays improved mechanical properties with a highest tensile strength of 120 MPa. In contrast, the VCB3 composite exhibited enhanced hardness with a low specific wear rate of 0.22 mm3/N m and a coefficient of friction of 0.19. Furthermore, the composite VCB3 demonstrated an elevated dielectric constant of 3.85 and a low dielectric loss of 0.136 with a high thermal stability up to 388°C. This study underscores the potential of annealing process on biosilica and its stress free grain structure in property improvement made as valuable reinforcement in waste cotton microfiber‐vinyl ester composites, opening up new avenues for diverse engineering applications with advanced material performance.Highlights Vinyl ester composites are prepared from waste biomass biosilica and cotton microfiber. Addition of biosilica improved the void filling effect of matrix. Addition of biosilica improved the mechanical properties. Addition of biosilica up to 3 vol.% improved the wear properties. Addition of biosilica up to 3 vol.% improved the thermal stability.
