“…The recent use of biomimicry approaches to develop responsive envelopes has been previously addressed in critical reviews [ 2 , 17 , 24 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 31 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. These authors provide a starting point to develop a general overview of the global context and development of responsive building envelopes using biomimicry.…”

“…Recently, biomimicry has been used as a guideline and a source of inspiration to design engineering materials with better mechanical performances, including cellular materials, responsive materials, self-healing materials, self-lubricating materials, self-organized materials, bioinspired polymers, soft materials [ 2 , 29 , 43 , 44 , 115 ], and self-cleaning materials [ 116 ]. To achieve this, some approaches look to develop a material that can mimic a specific behavior, e.g., a responsive behavior to a thermal or hygrothermal stimulus.…”

Buildings must adapt and respond dynamically to their environment to reduce their energy loads and mitigate environmental impacts. Several approaches have addressed responsive behavior in buildings, such as adaptive and biomimetic envelopes. However, biomimetic approaches lack sustainability consideration, as conducted in biomimicry approaches. This study provides a comprehensive review of biomimicry approaches to develop responsive envelopes, aiming to understand the connection between material selection and manufacturing. This review of the last five years of building construction and architecture-related studies consisted of a two-phase search query, including keywords that answered three research questions relating to the biomimicry and biomimetic-based building envelopes and their materials and manufacturing and excluding other non-related industrial sectors. The first phase focused on understanding biomimicry approaches implemented in building envelopes by reviewing the mechanisms, species, functions, strategies, materials, and morphology. The second concerned the case studies relating to biomimicry approaches and envelopes. Results highlighted that most of the existing responsive envelope characteristics are achievable with complex materials requiring manufacturing processes with no environmentally friendly techniques. Additive and controlled subtractive manufacturing processes may improve sustainability, but there is still some challenge to developing materials that fully adapt to large-scale and sustainability needs, leaving a significant gap in this field.

“…In the case of ceramic implants, all types of inflammatory reactions have been reported (for summary and references, see Table 3 ). Several studies on different animal models demonstrate that ceramic materials induce an acute inflammatory response on the first few days after implantation, but later, the inflammatory response decreases rapidly [ 79 , 136 , 137 , 138 ].…”

The immuno-compatibility of implant materials is a key issue for both initial and long-term implant integration. Ceramic implants have several advantages that make them highly promising for long-term medical solutions. These beneficial characteristics include such things as the material availability, possibility to manufacture various shapes and surface structures, osteo-inductivity and osteo-conductivity, low level of corrosion and general biocompatibility. The immuno-compatibility of an implant essentially depends on the interaction with local resident immune cells and, first of all, macrophages. However, in the case of ceramics, these interactions are insufficiently understood and require intensive experimental examinations. Our review summarizes the state of the art in variants of ceramic implants: mechanical properties, different chemical modifications of the basic material, surface structures and modifications, implant shapes and porosity. We collected the available information about the interaction of ceramics with the immune system and highlighted the studies that reported ceramic-specific local or systemic effects on the immune system. We disclosed the gaps in knowledge and outlined the perspectives for the identification to ceramic-specific interactions with the immune system using advanced quantitative technologies. We discussed the approaches for ceramic implant modification and pointed out the need for data integration using mathematic modelling of the multiple ceramic implant characteristics and their contribution for long-term implant bio- and immuno-compatibility.

“…Bio-inspired coatings are a relatively wide field of research that draws inspiration from the natural world to create innovative and highly functional coatings [21]. These coatings are designed to mimic the properties of natural surfaces, such as the self-cleaning abilities of lotus leaves or the adhesion properties of gecko feet [22,23]. By mimicking these natural systems, researchers can develop coatings that enhance the performance of aerospace materials, making them more durable, lightweight, and resistant to environmental factors such as corrosion and abrasion.…”

The aerospace industry demands high-performance materials that can withstand extreme conditions and maintain efficiency in a variety of applications. Bio-inspired polymer coatings have emerged as a promising approach to meet these demands, by drawing inspiration from natural systems to develop new coatings that exhibit enhanced properties, such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, thermal management, and corrosion resistance. In this review, recent developments in the field of bio-inspired polymer coatings for aerospace applications are presented, covering a range of coatings and their respective properties. We discuss the recent developments and applications of bio-inspired coatings, with a focus on their advantages and challenges in aerospace applications. We also highlight the potential for future research and development in this field, including the integration of advanced technologies such as nanotechnology and additive manufacturing. The review aims to provide insights into the current state-of-the-art of bio-inspired polymer coatings for aerospace applications and to inspire further research in this rapidly growing field.
