Abstract

Natural polymers work in complete harmony, much like an orchestra, because nature finds ways to minimize the amount of materials and energy used to perform its vital functions. Polymer scientists and students are truly nature’s apprentices and should be inspired to develop sustainable innovations based on observations of the natural world. With the current challenges in the world regarding environmental issues, the development of new sources of energy, and the substitution of synthetic polymers for natural materials, the study of polymers has naturally been gaining momentum. Therefore, an understanding of nature allows polymer scientists to reinvent and innovate materials and processes.
