In vivo imaging and morphogenesis of butterfly scale development
… across relevant length scales—can be emulated in bioinspired materials. However, the range of structural length scales that are integrated in biological materials exceeds that of their synthetic counterparts, due in large part to our limited understanding of the processes that biology employs in …

Chemically driven soft bioinspired systems and the variational formulation of physics-informed neural networks
… deformations. To design and engineer soft bioinspired materials for applications such as drug delivery and soft robotics, it is essential to understand and integrate such chemomechanical energy convergence. In this thesis, we describe two bioinspired systems which are driven by chemical …

Multiscale models based on statistical mechanics and physically-based machine learning for the thermo-hygro-mechanical behavior of spider-silk-like hierarchical materials
… high degree of sophistication found in natural materials, arising from evolutionary optimisation. In living organisms, nature provides a wide variety of materials, architectures, systems and functions, often based on weak constituents at the lower scales. One of the most extensively studied …

Thermally Responsive Peptide Coated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery
… These nanoparticles were coated by bioinspired materials such as peptides (diphenylalanine) to achieve monodispersed dual efficient such as drug carriers and hyperthermia. Thermally responsive core-shell materials with tubular and spherical morphologies without compromising the inner …

Hybrid And Smart Topologically Interlocking Materials
… of a new class of multifunctional architectured materials, Topologically Interlocking Materials (TIMs). These materials are created as an assembly of unit elements arranged in an interlocking pattern such that the load transfer between unit elements occurs by contact only. In the absence of …

Irradiation effects on geopolymer and additively manufactured 316H stainless steel and porosity in equine hoof wall
… research investigated three classes of materials designed for extreme environments. They include metakaolin-based geopolymers for nuclear shielding, additively manufactured (AM) 316H stainless steel (SS) for radiation resistance, and equine hoof walls serving as bioinspiration for …
