Abstract
This paper is the outcome of the workshop “Biologisation and Bio-Inspiration in Materials Science and Process Chemistry” from December 2024 with experts from the research fields Catalysis and Process Chemistry, Polymers and Functional Materials, and Inorganic Func tional Materials. The workshop’s purpose was to explore how principles from biology can drive innovation in chemical processes and material design. These principles aim at con necting natural strategies, such as self-assembly, adaptability, and energy efficiency, with advanced technologies to create sustainable solutions by the means of bio-inspired ap proaches for catalysis, polymer development, and process optimisation, leveraging con cepts like biomimetic structures and metabolic pathways – thematically centred on the three topics
- Bio-Intelligence – exploring how biological systems inspire smart, adaptive materi als and processes;
- Bio-Interfaces – focusing on the design of interfaces that mimic or interact with bio logical systems;
- Bio-Transition – discussing pathways for transitioning to sustainable, bio-integrated technologies.
