“…Interfacial evaporation is another effective way to realize rapid active cooling for both animals and plants because the liquid-to-vapor phase change of water can instantly carry away a large amount of heat. ,− For plant transpiration, the first step is the transportation of water from roots to leaves. Leaf veins have evolved with hierarchical vascular structures that have multibranching channel networks for efficient water transportation.…”

The regulation and utilization of thermal energy is increasingly important in modern society due to the growing demand for heating and cooling in applications ranging from buildings, to cooling high power electronics, and from personal thermal management to the pursuit of renewable thermal energy technologies. Over billions of years of natural selection, biological organisms have evolved unique mechanisms and delicate structures for efficient and intelligent regulation and utilization of thermal energy. These structures also provide inspiration for developing advanced thermal engineering materials and systems with extraordinary performance. In this review, we summarize research progress in biological and bioinspired thermal energy materials and technologies, including thermal regulation through insulation, radiative cooling, evaporative cooling and camouflage, and conversion and utilization of thermal energy from solar thermal radiation and biological bodies for vapor/electricity generation, temperature/infrared sensing, and communication. Emphasis is placed on introducing bioinspired principles, identifying key bioinspired structures, revealing structure–property–function relationships, and discussing promising and implementable bioinspired strategies. We also present perspectives on current challenges and outlook for future research directions. We anticipate that this review will stimulate further in-depth research in biological and bioinspired thermal energy materials and technologies, and help accelerate the growth of this emerging field.

“…The braided epoxy composites were printed using AM techniques. The coolant material design in spacecraft was inspired by the earthworm that consisted of a film layer and porous surface [31]. This resulted in the most revolutionary features of bio-inspired materials that focus on properties, which has led to diverse applications in the aerospace, automotive, healthcare, defense, and architecture sector.…”

“…A lightweight, thermal resistant corrugated core sandwich structure inspired from a peacock mantis shrimp was preferred over a honeycomb structure owing to its lower weight, lower heating rate, and minimum deflection at high heating [94].The heat flow (via transpiration) from the combustion chamber for a hypersonic vehicle was biologically mimicked. A parallelogram-style non-smooth structure was used which improved the cooling rate, like the skin of a tapeworm [31]. A rover to tackle the harsh conditions offered by Mars, which can lead to increased travel time, was theoretically designed at NASA [95].…”

The field of bio-inspired design has tremendously transitioned into newer automated methods, yet there are methods being discovered which can elucidate underlying principles in design, materials, and manufacturing. Bio-inspired design aims to translate knowledge from the natural world to the current trends in industry. The recent growth in additive manufacturing (AM)methods has fueled the tremendous growth of bio-inspired products. It has enabled the production of intricate and complicated features notably used in the aerospace industry. Numerous methodologies were adopted to analyse the process of bio-inspired material selection, manufacturing methods, design, and applications. In the current review, different approaches are implemented to utilize bio-inspired designs that have revolutionized the aerospace industry, focusing on AM methods.

“…The mounting demands for lightweight engineering and miniaturization have further accelerated AMenabled new designs of compact HXs which perform at par, if not better than the traditional counterparts [11,12]. Emergence of AM as a manufacturing tool has gained momentum in the manufacture of thermal systems such as oscillating heat pipe [13], manifold microchannel [14,15], louvered plate-fin [16,17], double corrugated tube-in-shell [18], transpiration cooling porous plates with partition walls [19] and finned tube [20] HXs. These HXs have been fabricated using different materials such as titanium alloys [13,14], stainless steel [14,20], aluminium alloy [14,17,18] and Inconel [15], mostly via SLM technique focusing on power plant cooling [14] and aerospace applications [17].…”
