Research progress of textiles based on biomimetic principles

This paper mainly introduces the results achieved in the area of biomimetic textiles from three aspects: biomimetic fibers,biomimetic fabrics and apparels,and biomimetic materials,systemically discusses the shapes,structures and functions of all kinds of biomimetic textiles and the research progress of biomimetic textiles,and makes a prospect of their future applications.It can be seen that biomimetic textiles are developing rapidly,and the development of nano biomimetic materials and intelligent textiles has become a hot area in recent years,while biomimetic biomaterials for medical use also possess vast potential in the future.Now,the biomimetic textiles are developing towards compounding,intelligence,energy saving and eco-friendly,and their research results will play a very important role in production and social development.
