Bio-joining: Adhesion in Biomaterials, Biological adhesives, and Biomimetic Adhesive Systems explores the use of adhesives in biomedical applications, with a focus on sustainable development. This book introduces the core concepts of adhesive bonding and the different types of biological adhesives, before reviewing applications in dentistry and joint design and engineering. Biodegradability, sustainability, and degradation impact of bioadhesives are recurring themes throughout each chapter, with an emphasis on development and engineering of natural materials. This book is of interest to researchers, engineers and academics working in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, and orthopaedics, with a focus on bio-joining and joint development.Presents the latest developments in adhesive technology in the dental and medical fields, as well as in the field of biological adhesivesAnalyzes the phenomenon of bioadhesion and the use of biomimetics as a way of developing novel adhesive bondsIncludes a detailed analysis of material selection and bio-joining durability

Due to their impressive performance biological adhesives have inspired the development of superior industrial adhesives. Biological adhesives often provide elegant solutions to engineering and biomedical requirements and are expected to inspire future technological innovations for adhesives for use in hostile conditions. Containing a selection of papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Biological and Biomimetic Adhesives, this book will showcase the latest advances in the chemical and structural characterisation of adhesives, the mechanical testing of adhesives and theory, fabrication and applications of biomimetic adhesives. Following the work of COST Action TD0909, the aim is to gain greater understanding of the mode of action of biological adhesives to allow successful development of improved synthetic counterparts. Appealing to a wide range of researchers in biology, chemistry, physics and engineering, the title provides the background and drive to improve scientific and technological progress in this important area.

This book is a collection of experimental studies demonstrating structure-function relationships in various biological systems having particular surface specialization to increase/decrease friction and adhesion. Studies on snake skin, adhesive pads, wing-interlocking devices and sticky mouthparts of insects as well as anti-adhesive and adhesive surfaces of plants are included in the volume containing four main subsections: (1) adhesion, (2) friction, (3) attachment-devices, (4) attachment-related behavior. Numerous experimental methods for characterizing tribological properties of biological surfaces at macro-, micro-, and nanoscale levels are demonstrated. This book is an excellent collection of publications on biotribology for both engineers and physicists working with biological systems as well as for biologists studying friction and adhesion. Inspirations from biology reported here may be also potentially interesting for biomimetics.
