Review of researches and applications of biomimetic textile materials
Textile materials have strong processability,diverse products,and wide applications.At the same time,the rapid development of biomimetic science has attracted attention,and the integration of textile engineering and biomimetic science is gradually becoming closer.Textile structural biomimetic materials have emerged as a prominent research focus due to their outstanding performance and robust design capabilities.In order to promote the in-depth research and widespread application of textile structure biomimetic materials,this study reviews the research status of textile structure biomimetic materials at home and abroad from three aspects:fiber biomimetic,fabric biomimetic,and composite material biomimetic.It summarizes their applications in medical,military,and protective fields,and looks into future research priorities and development trends.Currently,bio-mimetic textile materials face challenges such as under-development analysis of micro mecha-nisms,difficulties in weaving complex and disordered structures,and obstacles in industrializing research findings.This work advocates for advancing the integration of new textile technologies with functional raw materials,investigating techniques for analyzing the multi-level structure of materials across various scales,and expediting the application of research findings.This effort serves as a valuable resource for the development and utilization of biomimetic textile materials,enhancing their functionality,durability,and versatility.
