Impact of Nanometer-Thin Stiff Layer on Adhesion to Rough Surfaces
Shubhendu Kumar, Babu Gaire, Bo Persson +1
Adhesion requires molecular contact, and natural adhesives employ mechanical gradients to achieve complete (conformal) contact to maximize adhesion. Intuitively, one expects that t…

Measurement of Nanoscale Interfacial Contact Area Using Vibrational Spectroscopy
Utkarsh Patil, Stephen Merriman, Shubhendu Kumar +1
Understanding the extent of contact between objects is crucial for surface-driven phenomena in the natural world. While interactions are known to occur at subnanometer-length scale…
