An Experimental Study on Adhesive or Anti-Adhesive, Bio-inspired Experimental Nanomaterials

Abstract

The proposed book aims to better understand some of the most challenging and disputed topics that could be found in nature, such as adhesive, anti-adhesive or strong mechanisms in plants or animals. This book offers additional knowledge to scientists, technicians, innovators and others in order to support the technology transfer from scientific research to industrialized products.Intro -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- General Introduction -- Adhesive Materials -- Chapter 1 The Weibull Statistics Applied to the Adhesion Times of Living Tokay Geckos on Nanorough S -- Chapter 2 The Gecko's Optimal Adhesion on Nanorough Surfaces -- Chapter 3 Normal Adhesive Force-Displacement Curves of Living Tokay Geckos -- Chapter 4 Optimal Angles for Maximal Adhesion in Living Tokay Geckos -- Chapter 5 Observations of Shear Adhesive Force and Friction of Blatta Orientalis on Different Surfa -- Chapter 6 Plasma and Thermoforming Treatments to Tune The Bio-Inspired Wettability of Polystyrene -- Chapter 7 A Superhydrophobic Polystyrene by Replicating the Natural Lotus Leaf -- Chapter 8 Evidence of the Most Stretchable Egg Sac Silk Stalk of the European Spider of the Year Met -- Bibliography -- Final Acknowledgments -- General Conclusions -- IndexThe proposed book aims to better understand some of the most challenging and disputed topics that could be found in nature, such as adhesive, anti-adhesive or strong mechanisms in plants or animals.
