Bioinspiration has emerged as an important design principle in the rapidly growing field of materials science and especially its subarea, soft matter science. For example, biological cells form hierarchically organized tissues that not only are optimized and designed for durability, but also have to adapt to their external environment, undergo self-repair, and perform many highly complex functions. Being able to create artificial soft materials that mimic those highly complex functions will enable future materials applications. Herein, soft matter technologies that are used to realize bioinspired material structures are described, and potential pathways to integrate these into a comprehensive soft matter research environment are addressed. Solutions become available because soft matter technologies are benefitting from the synergies between organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and materials science.
生物灵感已成为快速发展的材料科学领域尤其是其分支软物质科学中的一项重要设计原则。例如，生物细胞形成层次有序的组织，这些组织不仅为耐久性进行了优化和设计，而且还必须适应外部环境、进行自我修复并执行许多高度复杂的功能。能够制造出模仿这些高度复杂功能的人造软材料将推动未来材料的应用。本文描述了用于实现受生物启发的材料结构的软物质技术，并探讨了将这些技术整合到全面的软物质研究环境中的潜在途径。由于软物质技术受益于有机合成、聚合物化学和材料科学之间的协同作用，解决方案变得可行。
