Pollenkitt wetting mechanism enables species-specific tunable pollen adhesion.
Plant pollens are microscopic particles exhibiting a remarkable breadth of complex solid surface features. In addition, many pollen grains are coated with a viscous liquid, "pollenkitt", thought to play important roles in pollen dispersion and adhesion. However, there exist no quantitative studies of the effects of solid surface features or pollenkitt on adhesion of pollen grains, and it remain...
متن کاملPreparation of hydrogel substrates with tunable mechanical properties.
The modulus of elasticity of the extracellular matrix (ECM), often referred to in a biological context as "stiffness," naturally varies within the body, e.g., hard bones and soft tissue. Moreover, it has been found to have a profound effect on the behavior of anchorage-dependent cells. The fabrication of matrix substrates with a defined modulus of elasticity can be a useful technique to study t...
متن کاملThe effect of surface water and wetting on gecko adhesion.
Despite profound interest in the mechanics and performance of the gecko adhesive system, relatively few studies have focused on performance under conditions that are ecologically relevant to the natural habitats of geckos. Because geckos are likely to encounter surfaces that are wet, we used shear force adhesion measurements to examine the effect of surface water and toe pad wetting on the whol...
متن کاملComposite Pillars with a Tunable Interface for Adhesion to Rough Substrates
The benefits of synthetic fibrillar dry adhesives for temporary and reversible attachment to hard objects with smooth surfaces have been successfully demonstrated in previous studies. However, surface roughness induces a dramatic reduction in pull-off stresses and necessarily requires revised design concepts. Toward this aim, we introduce cylindrical two-phase single pillars, which are composed...
متن کاملWetting of Substrates with Phase-Separated Binary Polymer Mixtures
We investigate a wetting reversal transition in thin films of two-phase mixtures of poly(ethylenepropylene) (PEP) and its deuterated analog (dPEP) on substrates covered by self-assembled monolayers (SAM) whose surface energy, gSAM, is tuned by varying the SAM composition. As gSAM increases from 21 to 24 mJ m2, a transition from a dPEP PEP dPEP SAM to a dPEP PEP SAM structure occurs at increasin...
