• Inspiration from the natural world: from bio-adhesives to bio-inspired adhesives (2014, background): “The secreted fluid of diverse hexapods was found to contain a non-volatile, lipid-like substance known to be an emulsion of water-soluble and lipid-soluble fractions [56].”
• Hexagonal Surface Micropattern for Dry and Wet Friction (2009, background): “that most of biological smooth attachment pads are in fact not ideally smooth, but rather wrinkled or patterned at micrometer or sub-micrometer levels.([11])”
• A Revised Interpretation of the Evolution of Attachment Structures in Hexapoda with Special Emphasis on Mantophasmatodea (2006, background): “3G,H) resembles foam-like materials of smooth pads previously described in Ensifera, Caelifera, and Auchenorrhyncha (GORB 2001).”
• Attachment ability of the beetle Chrysolina fastuosa on various plant surfaces (2002, background): “Trichomes have been considered adaptive to improve plant climbing abilities, increase the hydrophobicity of the surface, decrease wind ve- locity, and prevent water loss (Gorb, 2001).”
• Plant surface–bug interactions: Dicyphus errans stalking along trichomes (2007, background): “D. errans bears an attachment system of the smooth type according to Gorb and Beutel (2001) and Gorb (2001).”
• Effects of surface topography and chemistry of Rumex obtusifolius leaves on the attachment of the beetle Gastrophysa viridula (2009, background): “These structures, however, differ strongly in their attachment ability to surfaces of various geometry and physicochemical properties (Stork, 1980; Gorb, 2001; Betz, 2002; Peressadko & Gorb, 2004; Voigt et al., 2008).”
• 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.”
• The effect of surface roughness on claw and adhesive hair performance in the dock beetle Gastrophysa viridula (2011, background): “Previous authors have investigated the impact of a range of surface profiles, either natural (e.g. Gorb & Gorb, 2009, 2002) or artificial (e.g., Gorb, 2001; Peressadko & Gorb, 2004; Stork, 1980; Voigt et al., 2008).”
• Engineering Micropatterned Dry Adhesives: From Contact Theory to Handling Applications (2018, background): “This explains why, as has been realized early on in the observation of natural adhesive surfaces,[6,75] the details of the contact geometry play a key role in optimizing adhesion performance.”
• Effects of contact shape on the scaling of biological attachments (2005, background): “(b) Application to biological systems Cuticle outgrowths of various shapes in insects have evolved to fulfil several functions including attachment (Gorb 2001).”
• Biomimetics: lessons from nature–an overview (2009, background): “…attachment pads of several animals, including many insects (e.g. beetles and flies), spiders and lizards (e.g. geckos), are capable of attaching to a variety of surfaces and are used for locomotion, even on vertical walls or across ceilings (Autumn et al. 2000; Gorb 2001; Bhushan 2007b, 2008).”
• Laser engineering of biomimetic surfaces (2020, background): “Hairy pads, on the other hand, are composed of a diverse density of setae which range in length from few micrometers to several millimeters [89–91].”
