Can Biomimetics Transform Composite Materials for Sustainable Design?

Researchers and designers are increasingly turning to nature’s 3.8-billion-year experiment as a source of practical solutions for material challenges. Biomimetics — the practice of studying biological systems to inform human design — is influencing how composite materials are conceived, manufactured, and applied across industries. This shift is notable not just for performance improvements but for
