Cross-Scale Biological Models of Species for Future Biomimetic Composite Design: A Review

The rise in structural performance requirements in engineering is driving the research and development of stronger, stiffer, and lighter materials. However, most traditional artificial materials are unable to meet the needs of modern industrial and technological development. In fact, multifarious cr...
