Adhesive interactions of geckos with wet and dry fluoropolymer substrates.
Fluorinated substrates like Teflon® (poly(tetrafluoroethylene); PTFE) are well known for their role in creating non-stick surfaces. We showed previously that even geckos, which can stick to most surfaces under a wide variety of conditions, slip on PTFE. Surprisingly, however, geckos can stick reasonably well to PTFE if it is wet. In an effort to explain this effect, we have turned our attention...
متن کاملGecko Adhesion on Wet and Dry Patterned Substrates
Perhaps one of the most astounding characteristics of the gecko adhesive system is its versatility. Geckos can locomote across complex substrates in a variety of conditions with apparent ease. In contrast, many of our synthetic pressure sensitive adhesives fail on substrates that are dirty, wet or rough. Although many studies have investigated the effect of environmental challenges on performan...
متن کاملA bioinspired wet/dry microfluidic adhesive for aqueous environments.
A pressure-sensitive, nonreacting and nonfouling adhesive which can perform well both in air and underwater is very desirable because of its potential applications in various settings such as biomedical, marine, and automobile. Taking a clue from nature that many natural adhesive pads have complex structures underneath the outer adhesive layer, we have prepared thin elastic adhesive films with ...
متن کامل'Wet or Dry tooth surface?' - for self-adhesive resin cement
Does the dryness of tooth surface influence the bonding efficacy of self-adhesive resin cement? I would like to know how much I should dry the tooth surface for better adhesion of self-adhesive resin cement. Q Self-adhesive resin cements are designed to adhere to the tooth substrate without a separate adhesive or etchant. The first commercial product, RelyX Unicem, was launched in 2002 and gain...
متن کاملBond strength of adhesive systems with different solvents to dry and wet dentin.
AIM This study evaluates bond strength between dentin and composite using adhesives with different solvents to dry and wet dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety bovine incisors were used; the vestibular surfaces were worn by the exposure of an area with a diameter of 4 mm of dentin. The specimens were divided into 6 groups, according to the type of adhesive used and hydratation stals: Group SB...
