Gecko adhesive system

Autumn K. (2006) Properties, principles, and parameters of the Gecko adhesive system. In AM Smith JA Calow (eds). Biological Adhesives. Springer-Verlag, Berlin. [Pg.129]

The gecko adhesion system has extraordinary properties (1) is directional (2) attaches strongly with minimal preload (3) detaches quickly and easily (4) sticks to nearly every material (5) is self-cleaning (6) does not self-adhere and (7) is nonsticky by default (Autumn 2006). Gecko dry adhesion depends more on geometry than on chemistry of the substrate or the material of the fibrils - keratin proteins. [Pg.1399]

Van der Waals-type interaction of every single seta with the substrate is a sufficient mechanism to explain the uncommon properties of gecko adhesive system. Van der Waals... [Pg.1399]

Based on the principles described, Autumn has identified seven key functional properties of gecko adhesive system (Autumn 2007) ... [Pg.1401]

This history of investigation of the mechanism of gekkotan adhesion has been paralleled by a series of studies that have attempted to understand the structure and function of the entire adhesive apparams. Other studies have endeavored to investigate the performance capabihties of the adhesive system of geckos in both static clinging and dynamic running tests. [Pg.113]

Like a gecko, fimbriated bacteria use multivalent contacts for adhesion. Moreover, multivalency is a general theme in biological systems and multivalent interactions are of importance for numerous biological processes, such as immune... [Pg.19]
