Adhesion mechanism of ivy has been of major research interest for its potential applications in high-strength materials. Recent experimental studies demonstrated that nanoparticles secreted from ivy tendrils play an important role in adhesion. In this work, we investigate how various factors such as van der Waals interaction, capillarity, and molecular cross-linking influence the adhesion mechanics of ivy nanoparticles. This paper provides guidelines in choosing different adhesive contact models. Understanding the mechanics of ivy adhesion could potentially inspire the design and fabrication of novel nano-bio-materials.
常春藤的粘附机制因其在高强度材料中的潜在应用而成为主要研究热点。最近的实验研究表明，常春藤卷须分泌的纳米颗粒在粘附中起着重要作用。在这项工作中，我们研究了范德华相互作用、毛细作用和分子交联等各种因素如何影响常春藤纳米颗粒的粘附力学。本文为选择不同的粘附接触模型提供了指导。了解常春藤粘附的力学特性可能会启发新型纳米生物材料的设计和制造。
