- Mechanics of hierarchical adhesion structures of geckos (2005, background): “Indeed, broad studies of biological attachment devices (Scherge and Gorb, 2001) revealed that the spherical shape of contact elements is a very rare case in nature.”
- Design and mechanical properties of insect cuticle. (2004, background): “Most parts of the exoskeleton are covered with protuberances ranging from relatively flat scales in the micrometer range to long hairs and brush-like structures of several 10 s of mm in size which themselves have a complex geometry (Gorb and Scherge, 2001; Gorb, 2001): long, stiff spines for defence”
- Laser engineering of biomimetic surfaces (2020, background): “It has also been reported that the density of the hairs increases with increasing body weight, thus increasing the number of single contact points and produce stronger adhesion [85,90,92].”
- Anisotropic Friction of the Ventral Scales in the Snake Lampropeltis getula californiae (2014, background): “This view is also supported by the recent findings by Klein and Gorb [27], where they investigated material properties and architecture of the snake skin of four different snake species and found an overall consistent gradient in material properties and an enormous variety of specific modifications ”
- Mushroom-shaped geometry of contact elements in biological adhesive systems (2007, background): “Comparing various biological adhesive systems, both described in literature [11] and observed by us [3, 12, 13], we find that two main geometries of contact elements, which are spread at both macroscopical and microscopical levels, are mushroom-shaped and spatula-shaped ones.”
