Natural fiber systems provide inspirations for artificial fiber spinning and applications. Through a long process of trial and error, great progress has been made in recent years. The natural fiber itself, especially silks, and the formation mechanism are better understood, and some of the essential factors are implemented in artificial spinning methods, benefiting from advanced manufacturing technologies. In addition, fiber-based materials produced via bioinspired spinning methods find an increasingly wide range of biomedical, optoelectronic, and environmental engineering applications. This paper reviews recent developments in the spinning and application of bioinspired fiber systems, introduces natural fiber and spinning processes and artificial spinning methods, and discusses applications of artificial fiber materials. Views on remaining challenges and the perspective on future trends are also proposed.
天然纤维体系为人工纤维纺丝和应用提供了灵感。通过长期的反复试验，近年来取得了重大进展。人们对天然纤维本身，尤其是丝绸，以及其形成机制有了更好的理解，并在人工纺丝方法中实施了一些基本要素，这得益于先进的制造技术。此外，通过仿生纺丝方法生产的纤维基材料在生物医学、光电和环境工程等领域的应用越来越广泛。本文综述了仿生纤维体系纺丝和应用的最新进展，介绍了天然纤维和纺丝工艺以及人工纺丝方法，并讨论了人工纤维材料的应用。还提出了对当前面临挑战的看法和对未来发展趋势的展望。
