Biomimetic damping materials have emerged as promising candidates for various applications due to their ability to mimic the exceptional damping properties observed in biological systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field of biomimetic damping gel materials. The conceptual framework of biomimetic damping materials is discussed, the synthesis methods inspired by biological principles are elucidated, and key considerations in material selection are highlighted. The latest research findings on the mechanical properties, biocompatibility and practical applications of these materials are synthesized and insights into the future directions of biomimetic damping gel materials are offered.
