“…The average porosity obtained from the helium pycnometer is approximately 8.07%, which is higher than the porosities reported by Huang et al (3%) [10] and Lazarus et al (0.77 ± 0.3%) [24]. This discrepancy is attributed to variations in sample location within the hoof and the analysis method used.…”

“…Aligned IFs form macrofibrils, roughly 700 nm in diameter that are dispersed inside disk-shaped cells around 10-40 µm across and 5 µm thick [9]. Concentric lamellae, each made from a single layer of cells, create cylindrical structures called tubules that run from the top to the bottom of the hoof wall [10,11]. The tubules have a 200-300 μm diameter, with a central medulla, or tubule medullary cavity (TMC), of about 50 μm [6,12].…”

“…The tubules have a 200-300 μm diameter, with a central medulla, or tubule medullary cavity (TMC), of about 50 μm [6,12]. Intertubular regions consist of lamellae at an oblique angle with the long axis of the tubules [6,10,11,13]. The tubules' axes are parallel to the outer surface, which defines the longitudinal direction.…”

The equine hoof wall has a complex, hierarchical structure that can inspire designs of impact-resistant materials. In this study, we utilized micro-computed tomography (Micro CT) and serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) to image the microstructure and nanostructure of the hoof wall. We quantified the morphology of tubular medullary cavities by measuring equivalent diameter, surface area, volume, and sphericity. High-resolution Micro CT revealed that tubules are partially or fully filled with tissue near the exterior surface and become progressively empty towards the inner part of the hoof wall. Thin bridges were detected within the medullary cavity, starting in the middle section of the hoof wall and increasing in density and thickness towards the inner part. Porosity was measured using three-dimensional (3D) Micro CT, two-dimensional (2D) Micro CT, and a helium pycnometer, with the highest porosity obtained using the helium pycnometer (8.07%), followed by 3D (3.47%) and 2D (2.98%) Micro CT. SBF-SEM captured the 3D structure of the hoof wall at the nanoscale, showing that the tubule wall is not solid, but has nano-sized pores, which explains the higher porosity obtained using the helium pycnometer. The results of this investigation provide morphological information on the hoof wall for the future development of hoof-inspired materials and offer a novel perspective on how various measurement methods can influence the quantification of porosity.

“…[182] Actually, the development of NPCMs is a step-by-step process for turning natural strategies into innovative solutions exactly as the biomimicry design spiral proposed by Carl Hastrich, including identifying, translating, and discovering until final application (Figure 21). [183] Accordingly, this review summarizes the pioneering and representative progress in the development of NPCMs for advanced thermal energy management and regulation, from structural design to novel manufacturing and smart TES systems. Moreover, the relationship between the structure and function of NPCMs is discussed to provide basic guidelines for their structural design.…”

Phase change materials have garnered extensive interest in heat harvesting and utilization owing to their high energy storage density and isothermal phase transition. Nevertheless, inherent leakage problems and low heat storage efficiencies hinder their widespread utilization. Nature has served as a great source of inspiration for addressing these challenges. Natural strategies are proposed to achieve advanced thermal energy management systems, and breakthroughs are made in recent years. This review focuses on recent advances in the structural design and functions of phase change materials from a natural perspective. By highlighting the structure-function relationship, advanced applications including human motion, medicine, and intelligent thermal management devices are discussed in detail. Finally, the views on the remaining challenges and future prospects are also provided, that is, phase change materials are advancing around the biomimicry design spiral.

“…Uniquely shaped honeycomb with geometries influenced by natural shapes like the horseshoe, spiderweb, and pomelo peel are also used. Because they can survive high-stress impact situations, hooves have shown promising energy absorption properties and have similar porosity properties to human skin and have demonstrated promising energy absorption properties since they can withstand high-stress impact circumstances [41]. Horse-shaped aluminium honeycombs with different cross sections have been proposed based on triangular honeycomb, square honeycomb, hexagonal honeycomb and Kagome honeycomb to improve the energy absorption capacity and nonlinear explicit FEA code LS-DYNA was used [30].…”

Bio-inspired structure is a topic of immense interest to researchers worldwide. In order to maximize energy absorption through biomimetic structures, this article presents bio-inspired structure particularly, thin walled and cellular structures thorough analysis of the interactions between experimental research and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations. The study compiles the prior research on experimental investigations of thin-walled and cellular biomimetic structures in order to understand the significance of biomimetic structural energy absorption. These inventive works of nature serve as inspiration for these designs, which provide engineering solutions that excel in impact resistance and energy dissipation abilities. The study further highlights the mutual advantages of combining experimental research with FEA models, which enable a deeper understanding of the impact response and energy absorption mechanisms inherent in biomimetic structures, by exploring into recent developments in material science and design methodologies. The article emphasizes how important validations are in bringing experimental results in line with FEA predictions. Furthermore, the practical applications demonstrated in fields like aircraft engineering, automotive safety, and protections can serve as excellent examples of the paradigm-shifting potential of this method for boosting impact protection. This review proposes novel research avenues aimed at fully harnessing the potential of biomimetic architectures to enhance energy absorption, all while acknowledging and addressing the associated challenges.
