Tree frog-inspired nanopillar arrays for enhancement of adhesion and friction
Zhekun Shi, Di Tan, Quan Liu +3
Bioinspired structure adhesives have received increasing interest for many applications, such as climbing robots and medical devices. Inspired by the closely packed keratin nanopil…
Hybrid Surface Patterns Mimicking the Design of the Adhesive Toe Pad of Tree Frog
Longjian Xue, Belén Sanz, Aoyi Luo +10
Biological materials achieve directional reinforcement with oriented assemblies of anisotropic building blocks. One such example is the nanocomposite structure of keratinized epith…
Quantifying the structural integrity of nanorod arrays
Florian Thöle, Longjian Xue, Claudia Heß +3
Arrays of aligned nanorods oriented perpendicular to a support, which are accessible by top-down lithography or by means of shape-defining hard templates, have received increasing…
The Influence of Surface Topography and Surface Chemistry on the Anti-Adhesive Performance of Nanoporous Monoliths
Anna Eichler-Volf, Longjian Xue, Gregor Dornberg +7
We designed spongy monoliths allowing liquid delivery to their surfaces through continuous nanopore systems (mean pore diameter ca. 40 nm). These nanoporous monoliths were flat or…
Advanced SERS sensor based on capillarity-assisted preconcentration through gold nanoparticles-decorated porous nanorods
Longjian Xue, Wei Xie, Leonie Driessen +5
A preconcentrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for the analysis of liquid-soaked tissue, tiny liquid droplets and thin liquid films without the necessity to col…
Nanoporous monolithic microsphere arrays have anti-adhesive properties independent of humidity
Anna Eichler-Volf, Longjian Xue, Alexander Kovalev +3
Bioinspired artificial surfaces with tailored adhesive properties have attracted significant interest. While fibrillar adhesive pads mimicking gecko feet are optimized for strong r…
