The present review discusses the Butterfly inspired impact on technology and its applications. This review article discusses the various concepts like nanocrystals on wings, natural photonic crystals (PhC) scaffolds, multifunctional biophotonic nanomaterials, creation of biomimetic nanostructured materials, aerodynamic analysis have been discussed. Different species of butterflies Chorinea faunus, Ideopsis similis, Danaus plexippus, D. eresimus, D. talbot and D. gilippus have been used as butterfly model systems. The review attempts to summarize the works done by various research groups with the butterfly as a model system. In conclusion butterfly as a whole, the color of wings, the aerodynamics, and the nanostructure composites inspire the development of many nanostructured composites and other technological enhancements. |
