Tuning the geometrical parameters of biomimetic fibrillar structures to enhance adhesion.
Fibrillar structures are common features on the feet of many animals, such as geckos, spiders and flies. Theoretical analyses often use periodical array to simulate the assembly, and each fibril is assumed to be of equal load sharing (ELS). On the other hand, studies on a single fibril show that the adhesive interface is flaw insensitive when the size of the fibril is not larger than a critical...
متن کاملDesign of biomimetic fibrillar interfaces: 2. Mechanics of enhanced adhesion.
This study addresses the strength and toughness of generic fibrillar structures. We show that the stress sigmac required to pull a fibril out of adhesive contact with a substrate has the form sigma(c) = sigma(0)Phi(chi). In this equation, sigma(0) is the interfacial strength, Phi(chi) is a dimensionless function satisfying 0 <or= Phi(chi) <or= 1 and chi is a dimensionless parameter that depends...
متن کاملThe Effect of Geometrical Parameters of Cylindrical Composite Lattice Structures on Buckling Behavior
Due to their light weights and high load carrying capacities, composite structures are widely used in various industrial applications especially in aerospace industry. Stiffening ribs are the main features of lattice type composite structures. Strength to weight ratio is known to be as one of the most critical design parameter in these structures. In this study, the effect of some parameters su...
متن کاملShape insensitive optimal adhesion of nanoscale fibrillar structures.
Gecko and many insects have adopted nanoscale fibrillar structures on their feet as adhesion devices. Here, we consider adhesion between a single fiber and a substrate by van der Waals or electrostatic interactions. For a given contact area A, the theoretical pull-off force of the fiber is sigma(th)A where sigma(th) is the theoretical strength of adhesion. We show that it is possible to design ...
متن کاملThe Study of Collagen Immobilization on a Novel Nanocomposite to Enhance Cell Adhesion and Growth
Background: Surface properties of a biomaterial could be critical in determining biomaterial’s biocompatibility due to the fact that the first interactions between the biological environment and artificial materials are most likely occurred at material’s surface. In this study, the surface properties of a new nanocomposite (NC) polymeric material were modified by combining plasma treatment and...
