This book deals with the adhesion, friction and contact mechanics
of living organisms. Further, it presents the remarkable adhesive
abilities of the living organisms which inspired the design of
novel micro- and nanostructured adhesives that can be used in
various applications, such as climbing robots, reusable tapes, and
biomedical bandages. The technologies for both the synthesis and
construction of bio-inspired adhesive micro- and nanostructures, as
well as their performance, are discussed in detail. Representatives
of several animal groups, such as insects, spiders, tree frogs, and
lizards, are able to walk on (and therefore attach to) tilted,
vertical surfaces, and even ceilings in different environments.
Studies have demonstrated that their highly specialized micro- and
nanostructures, in combination with particular surface chemistries,
are responsible for this impressive and reversible adhesion. These
structures can maximize the formation of large effective contact
areas on surfaces of varying roughness and chemical composition
under different environmental conditions.
