Abstract
Nature has always been an inspiration to scientists and this in turn has led to many scientific inventions. Biomimetics is the application of natural concepts and principles to build new materials and systems. Biomimetic approaches are important in the advancements in the field of nanotechnology also. Biomimetic nanomaterials are synthetic materials that are designed to mimic the structures and functions of natural biological systems at the nanoscale. Biomimetic nanomaterials have numerous potential uses in various disciplines and can provide new solutions to complex problems and open up new avenues for research and innovation.
