Surface Roughness and Filler Restructuring in Magneto-Active Elastomers: Magnetically Hard versus Magnetically Soft Particles
Júlio P. A. Santos, Mehdi Hasanzade, Chaitanya Doifode +5
Magneto-active elastomers (MAEs) -- composites of magnetic nano-/micro-particles embedded in a soft polymer matrix -- are promising for soft robotics, as their shape and mechanical…
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…
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…
Extensive collection of femtoliter pad secretion droplets in beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata allows nanoliter microrheology
Bérengère Abou, Cyprien Gay, Bastien Laurent +4
Pads of beetles are covered with long, deformable setae, each ending in a micrometric terminal plate coated with secretory fluid. It was recently shown that the layer of the pad se…
