“…While initially seen as a promising approach with some notable successes such as allowing a comparison between problem solving in engineering (TRIZ) and biology (BioTRIZ) showing only a 12% overlap 24 , BioTRIZ has failed to gain widespread recognition or usage 25 . However, the underlying assumption that TRIZ has significant potential for biomimetics remains and current efforts aim at utilising more of the original TRIZ tools than just the contradiction matrix including abstraction and transferring tools 26,27 and the development of a BioOntology that move away from the simple dialectic approach in the contradiction matrix and a one-to-one database to include the overlap of several inventive principles to better capture the complexity and dynamic nature of biological systems 25 .…”

Biologically inspired design is attracting increasing interest since it offers access to a huge biological repository of well proven design principles that can be used for developing new and innovative products. Biological phenomena can inspire product innovation in as diverse areas as mechanical engineering, medical engineering, nanotechnology, photonics, environmental protection and agriculture. However, a major obstacle for the wider use of biologically inspired design is the knowledge barrier that exist between the application engineers that have insight into how to design suitable products and the biologists with detailed knowledge and experience in understanding how biological organisms function in their environment. The biologically inspired design process can therefore be approached using different design paradigms depending on the dominant opportunities, challenges and knowledge characteristics. Design paradigms are typically characterized as either problem-driven, solution-driven, sustainability driven, bioreplication or a combination of two or more of them. The design paradigms represent different ways of overcoming the knowledge barrier and the present paper presents a review of their characterization and application.

“…Potential use of tools in practice. Tools can be chosen for certain steps of the process of biomimetics (see Fayemi et al 26,29 ) to facilitate the underlying tasks Bioinspired, Biomimetic and Nanobiomaterials Volume 6 Issue BBN2 Biomimetics and its tools Wanieck, Fayemi, Maranzana, Zollfrank and Jacobs in particular. This overview has been lacking so far; this study is the first presentation of 43 tools with their connections to the process, and it presents the diversity of biomimetics in terms of research communities and their respective areas of interest.…”

Biomimetics, as the transfer of strategies from biology to technology, is an emerging research area and has led to significant concepts over the past decades. The development of such concepts is described by the process of biomimetics, encompassing several steps. In Practice, beneficiaries of the process face challenges. Therefore, to overcome challenges and to facilitate the steps, tools have been developed in various areas, such as engineering, computing and design. However, these tools are not widely used yet. This paper presents an overview and a classification study of more than 40 tools with qualitative criteria. The criteria included, for example, the year of development, the accessibility of tools, the facilitated steps of the process or their contribution to sustainability. The classification shows that certain steps of the process and their challenges are well addressed by the tools, while other steps are not. The presented results contribute to the proposal of an improvement of the state of the art, and they build the foundation for future theoretical and practical analyses. These findings could contribute to increasing the implementation of biomimetics in various disciplines in the long term.

“…The use of artificial mechanisms to obtain output similar to nature's function is called biomimetic or biomimicry, but bionic can be considered more related to cybernetics [208,209]. Figure 38 shows a schematic view of Bio-inspiration and linked concepts boundaries map [210].…”

The movement of the construction industry towards sustainable development has drawn attention to the revision of concrete. In addition to reducing pollution, the use of nano-materials should lead to the provision of higher quality concrete in terms of regulatory items (workability, resistance characteristics, durability characteristics, microstructure). The present study investigates 15 key characteristics of concrete modified with nano-CaCO3, nano-clay, nano-TiO2, and nano-SiO2. The results of the study showed that nanomaterials significantly have a positive effect on the hydration mechanism and the production of more C-S-H gel. The evaluation of resistance characteristics also indicates the promising results of these valuable materials. The durability characteristics of nano-containing concrete showed significant improvement despite high dispersion. Concrete in coastal areas (such as bridges or platforms), concrete exposed to radiation (such as hospitals), concrete exposed to impact load (such as nuclear power plants), and concrete containing recycled aggregate (such as bricks, tiles, ceramics) can be effectively improved by using nanomaterials. It is hoped that the current review paper can provide an effective image and idea for future applied studies by other researchers.
