Journal ArticleDOI
From micro to nano contacts in biological attachment devices.
TL;DR: An extensive microscopic study has shown a strong inverse scaling effect in these attachment devices, whereas μm dimensions of the terminal elements of the setae are sufficient for flies and beetles, geckos must resort to sub-μm devices to ensure adhesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of hierarchical adhesion structures of geckos
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the size of the seta of a gecko may have been optimized to optimize the adhesive strength and maximum tolerance of imperfect adhesion for robustness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for capillarity contributions to gecko adhesion from single spatula nanomechanical measurements.
Gerrit Huber,Hubert Mantz,Ralph Spolenak,Klaus Mecke,Karin Jacobs,Stanislav N. Gorb,Eduard Arzt,Eduard Arzt +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the adhesion force exerted by a single gecko spatula for various atmospheric conditions and surface chemistries, and showed that humidity contributes significantly to gecko adhesion on a nanoscopic level.

Evidence for Capillary Contributions to Gecko Adhesion from Single Spatula Nanomechanical Measurements
Gerrit Huber,Stanislav N. Gorb,Eduard Arzt,Ralph Spolenak,Klaus Mecke,Hubert Mantz,Karin Jacobs +6 more
TL;DR: Measurements of the adhesion force exerted by a single gecko spatula for various atmospheric conditions and surface chemistries show that humidity contributes significantly to gecko adhesion on a nanoscopic level, crucial for the development of artificial biomimetic attachment systems.
Book
Attachment devices of insect cuticle
TL;DR: The principles of cuticular attachment in Arthropoda and its applications in frictional systems and dragonfly and damselfly head-arresting system are explained.
