The IOM3 Adhesion and Adheives Group winter seminar focuses on bioadhesives and adhesion, offering attendees:
- An overview of the mechanisms used by organisms to achieve adhesion to surfaces.
- An understanding of how nature has evolved a vast range of 'smart' materials and is currently an untapped resource for novel biomedical and engineering applications by demonstrating that inspiration for tomorrow's advanced materials can be found everywhere, even at the bottom of our garden.
- Career opportunities for students, and networking opportunities for attendees.
Highlighting how biological systems achieve adhesion to surfaces, and how adhesives and surface treatments can be made more sustainable by learning lessons from natural solutions. The event will introduce emerging technologies for more environmentally compatible materials and processes. Adhesion can be both beneficial, for example for an animal to climb a vertical surface, and detrimental, for example for biofouling in the marine environment. How to achieve adhesion and how to prevent adhesion will both be considered. Adhesives are extensively used in industry, and understanding how nature achieve strong and durable bonding with minimum energy input can contribute to reducing the environmental impact of these materials.
