The Special Issue in the journal Biomimetics, entitled “Bridging the Gap: From Biomechanics and Functional Morphology of Plants to Biomimetic Developments”, will cover the entire development chain from basic research in the field of biomechanics, simulation of the functional morphology of plants, and the development of physical models for a better understanding of functional principles to biomimetic products on the laboratory scale or prototype level. The size scale can be any hierarchical level, from (macro-)molecules to entire plants.

As Guest Editors, Olga Speck and Thomas Speck welcome all the contributions, including research and review articles, related to these research areas. >>Website

This special issue is now open for submission. The deadline for submission is 30 April 2021.
