For example, the hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties of theof superhydrophobic surfaces, while reptiles' abilities to attach and move have informed the development of surfaces with increased friction ability. The combination of reducing and increasing friction ability in a single structural design, such as the cheetah's claw, also offers new possibilities for functional surface coatings. The remarkable tribological properties of biomimetic designs present significant potential for industrial applications in aerospace and automotive engineering.
This Research.
Topic focuses on developing functional biomimetic surfaces with cutting-edge technologies and exploring their practical applications in these fields. The biomimetic approach involves translating principles discovered in Spain phone number list nature into man-made technology. This Research Topic focuses on tribological applications that investigate adhesion, friction and wear phenomena between contacting surfaces using bio-inspired examples. We encourage experts from academia and industry to submit their latest research on enhanced functional biomimetic surface coating designs for tribological features in aerospace and automotive engineering.
We welcome innovative and original articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications related to functional biomimetic surfaces for enhanced tribological properties. The scope of this Research Topic includes, but is not limited to the following themes:Biomimetic experimental and modelling studies of tribological behaviour on biomimetic surfacesDevelopment of functional coatings inspired by biological surfacesNovel biomimetic design and fabrication techniques, physics and chemistry of tribo-surfacesDesigning novel lubricant nano or micro additives using biomimeticsThe biomimetic optimization design methods for the tribological effect of surfaces.
