| Abstract: |
The article demonstrates a strategy for large-scale fabrication of bioinspired polymeric woods with similar polyphenol matrix materials, and outstanding comprehensive performance by a self-assembly and thermocuring process of traditional resins. It mentions that woods provide bioinspiration for engineering materials due to their superior mechanical performance; and its use for mass production of a series of high-performance biomimetic engineering materials. |
