Bioadhesion: Unlocking Nature’s Secrets for Advanced Materials & Technologies
In this talk given by Dr. Sylwia Jencz from the School of Life Sciences at University of Essex, we will explore the fascinating world of bioadhesion—nature’s ability to create strong bonds between biological systems and surfaces. The presentation will cover the fundamental principles of bioadhesion, its molecular mechanisms, and how organisms like barnacles, geckos, and certain microbes have evolved sophisticated strategies to adhere to a variety of surfaces in diverse environments.
The talk will aim to provide a comprehensive overview of bioadhesion, its principles, and its vast potential for innovation, giving a deep appreciation of how nature's adhesive solutions might transform technology in the future.
