sorptiotainspired
Sorptiotainspired is a neologism used to describe an approach to material design and analysis that takes inspiration from sorption phenomena—adsorption and absorption—in natural and engineered systems. The term combines sorption with notions of design inspired by nature, signaling an emphasis on reversible, selective, and tunable interactions between materials and their surroundings.
Conceptually, sorptiotainspired design seeks to harness or mimic the dynamic balance of sorption and desorption that
Applications span environmental remediation, energy storage, gas capture, and sensing. In water treatment, sorptiotainspired materials aim
Limitations include the complexity of translating sorption behavior from model systems to real-world environments, and trade-offs
Related terms include sorption, adsorption, absorption, porous materials, metal-organic frameworks, hydrogels, and bio-inspired design.
