This book is a collection of experimental studies demonstrating
structure-function relationships in various biological systems
having particular surface specialization to increase/decrease
friction and adhesion. Studies on snake skin, adhesive pads,
wing-interlocking devices and sticky mouthparts of insects as well
as anti-adhesive and adhesive surfaces of plants are included in
the volume containing four main subsections: (1) adhesion, (2)
friction, (3) attachment-devices, (4) attachment-related behavior.
Numerous experimental methods for characterizing tribological
properties of biological surfaces at macro-, micro-, and nanoscale
levels are demonstrated. This book is an excellent collection of
publications on biotribology for both engineers and physicists
working with biological systems as well as for biologists studying
friction and adhesion. Inspirations from biology reported here may
be also potentially interesting for biomimetics.
