Gecko footpads have unique structures with amazing features; imitating these fine bio-structures will lead to a multitude of innovations. This project aims to study fundamental principles governing adhesion phenomena for creating entirely new biomimetic nanomaterials with tunable adhesion, self-cleaning and controlled release capabilities. The gecko-mimicking materials and the associated dynamic effects will be characterized quantitatively at multiscales and the nanoscale phenomena will be linked to macroscopic performance. The results of this research should provide a fundamental understanding of tunable adhesion mechanisms for the design and development of optimized materials with superb performance of practical significance.

壁虎的脚垫具有独特的结构，具有惊人的功能;模仿这些精细的生物结构将导致大量的创新。该项目旨在研究粘附现象的基本原理，以创造具有可调粘附力，自清洁和控释能力的全新仿生纳米材料。仿壁虎材料和相关的动态效应将在多尺度上定量表征，纳米级现象将与宏观性能联系起来。本研究的结果将为设计和开发具有优异性能的优化材料提供对可调粘附机制的基本理解，具有实际意义。
