A review on biomimetics and nanotechnology

The well-organized multifunctional structural compatibility of animals and plants found in our surroundings have attracted the interest of scientists working in many disciplines .There are different organisms in nature which are doing things in a similar way we humans need to do; the efforts to utilize these mechanisms by taking inspiration from these organisms resulted in a new and rapidly growing scientific effort called biomimetics. From the observations on these organisms it is found that their wonderful properties are all due to their micro or nano scale structural properties. In this article we present the utilization of some of these mechanisms found in nature to useful products for human with the help of nanotechnology and its tools.
