Nature always gives us inspirations for fabricating functional materials by mimicking the structure design or stimuli-responsive capability of biomaterials.However,the strict preparation conditions,multi-step processes and high cost of the methods to create biomimetic systems at interface and in bulk,limited their practical applications.Therefore,developing simple,cheap but effective method becomes the focus of our research in this field.The amazing properties of biomaterials are the result of evolution for billions of years.Generally,biomaterials are assembled with limited supply of constitutes available to living organism under mild conditions.The surprising properties of biomaterials are largely resulted from the sophisticated hierarchical structures.Following the design principles of nature to prepare manmade materials has drawn great research interests in materials science and engineering.In the past decades,a large number of papers in this field have been published.In this review,the recent progress in the preparation of bio-inspired materials focused on the structure mimicking is summarized.Selected examples from low to high dimension are described with emphasis on the relationship between the structure and the corresponding functions.
