Adhesion, Friction, and Surface Interactions
This cluster of papers focuses on the mechanics of gecko foot adhesion, including the study of van der Waals forces, surface roughness, contact mechanics, and the development of biomimetic adhesives. It explores the nanoscale structures, frictional properties, and hierarchical designs inspired by gecko feet for potential applications in various fields.
Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
