Structural and tribometric characterization of biomimetically inspired synthetic "insect adhesives"
Background: Based on previous chemical analyses of insect tarsal adhesives, we prepared 12 heterogeneous synthetic emulsions mimicking the polar/non-polar principle, analysed their microscopical structure and tested their adhesive, frictional, and rheological properties.Results: The prepared emulsio...
