Building on the fruitful discussions from the initial visit, we were delighted to enter the second phase of our collaboration with Professor Wirasak Smitthipong’s research team from Kasetsart University. This phase focused on deepening our joint research efforts in natural fibres and composite materials. This phase included technical presentations and strategic planning for future funding opportunities. An opportunity for Pr Antoine Le Duigou to present the bioinspired approach at the key concept of the bionics team’s research, i.e. lecture entitled ” A novel use of natural fibres into smart shape changing materials : biomimicry & 4D printing towards biometacomposites”. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Prof. Wirasak Smitthipong and his team for their warm and friendly welcome, the kindness of their staff and the fruitful discussions on innovative materials.
