Presently there are some challenging technological problems which severely restrain the progress of oil/gas development and production. To address these existing specific challenges, solutions enlightened and obtained from bionics have been applied. This paper reviews the applications of the most influential bionic technologies in the oil/gas development and production engineering, which include bionic non-smooth surface, shape memory polymer, bionic porous material, etc. Some successful field applications of these bionic technologies are described in detail, e.g. the application of the non-smooth theory in the solid expandable tubular technology to reduce friction resistance, and the utilization of bionic porous material as sand control screen to effectively improve sand retention and reduce the influent resistance. The vision of the potential bionic technologies, such as bionic inflow-control devices and nanorobots are also discussed.

The work presented here describes a paradigm for the design of materials for additive manufacturing platforms based on taking advantage of unique physical properties imparted upon the material by the fabrication process. We sought to further investigate past work with binary shape memory polymer blends, which indicated that phase texturization caused by the fused filament fabrication (FFF) process enhanced shape memory properties. In this work, two multi-constituent shape memory polymer systems were developed where the miscibility parameter was the guide in material selection. A comparison with injection molded specimens was also carried out to further investigate the ability of the FFF process to enable enhanced shape memory characteristics as compared to other manufacturing methods. It was found that blend combinations with more closely matching miscibility parameters were more apt at yielding reliable shape memory polymer systems. However, when miscibility parameters differed, a pathway towards the creation of shape memory polymer systems capable of maintaining more than one temporary shape at a time was potentially realized. Additional aspects related to impact modifying of rigid thermoplastics as well as thermomechanical processing on induced crystallinity are also explored. Overall, this work serves as another example in the advancement of additive manufacturing via materials development.
