Abstract

Abstract : Soft‐Rigid Unified Structure Textile In article number 2213419, Swee Ching Tan, Songlin Zhang, Yan Ma, and co‐workers developed a composite textile with a soft‐rigid unified structure (SRUS) design inspired by crocodile skin. The SRUS textile combines excellent protective properties and wearing comfort, providing a new approach to personal protective equipment development. The study shows the potential of biomimetic design in creating innovative functional textiles.
