Abstract

Abstract:

In nature， organisms have evolved many unique dry/wet friction and adhesion organs to adapt to their living environment. Based on the deep study， understanding and summary of these natural friction/adhesion phenomena， researchers have put forward corresponding bionic surface and interface friction/adhesion mechanisms， theories and models to guide the synthesis of artificial intelligent friction/adhesion materials and smart application devices. At present， the design strategies of biomimetic friction/adhesion material systems and devices are mainly based on surface microstructure， surface/interface physical and chemical interactions， and mechanical deformation. However， with a deeper understanding of biological friction/adhesion mechanism， the design concept of coupling multi-strategies has gradually become the main research direction. In this design concept background， this paper reviews the latest research progress of biomimetic friction/adhesion devices from four parts： single strategy such as surface microstructure design， interface chemical modification， mechanical deformation control， and multiple coupling strategies. This paper also analyzes these design concepts of single and multi-strategies respectively， discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these design strategies. The innovation of different design principles， surface and interface friction/adhesion properties of these devices and their potential applications， and existing problems of them are also described. Finally， this review prospects the future development direction of biomimetic friction/adhesion materials and devices， and this review is of guiding significance to the research of surface engineering， biomedicine and microelectronics
