SUMMARY:

The objective of this research was to study the natural structures, found in tropical fruits, for the development of bio-inspired products and their applications. In nature, one can find a multitude of biological structures that perform the function of protection and mechanical resistance. Fruit peels are true natural packaging, since they protect, wrap, store, and perform protective functions. In them we find a multitude of functions and structures that have been developed over millions of years to have a high structural performance. Direct and indirect protection against mechanical damage or other negative environmental influences in fruit involves collision resistance, cushioning, and energy dissipation. Observation of their structures at the cellular level, by means of light microscopy, has made it possible to observe the arrangements of the cell structures, thus selecting the fruits, as a method of initial exploration. With the aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), using cryo-fracture, it was observed to evaluate the morphology and plant anatomy. The use of Computerized Microtomography (Micro-CT), for the observation of structures, material analysis and three-dimensional reconstruction, thereby highlighting the hierarchical structures at the cellular level, making possible the prototyping of the bio -inspired structure by means of digital fabrication. A workshop was held at UFPB, as part of the methodology, with the participation of Design undergraduate students that resulted in the elaboration of concepts and their implications in products. As a result this study brings to light how the designer should observe and analyze nature in a scientific way. Through systematic literature review, new technologies, he becomes capable of deepening the understanding of nature, transferring structuralfunctional principles and biological knowledge in a rigorous way. The biomimetic designer of the future should be able to communicate with nature, biology, science and technological tools according to the needs of Design. Finally, this thesis provides a useful framework for the development of new bioinspired designs.
