Download or read book Bio-inspired Studies on Adhesion of a Thin Film on a Rigid Substrate written by Zhilong Peng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis systematically investigates the factors which influence many animals’ robust adhesion abilities and micro-reversible adhesion mechanisms, including the geometric principles of their adhesion, relative humidity, surface roughness and pre-tension. Studies exploring biological adhesion mechanisms are not only of great significance for the design of advanced adhesive materials and adhesion systems for micro-climbing robots, but also very helpful for resolving the problem of adhesion failure in MEMS/NEMS.
