Wearable flexible devices for plant health monitoring hold promising prospects for encompassing the deep informatization and intellectualization of traditional agriculture and paving new research directions in plant physiology within botany. The high-quality collection or release of signals constitutes a significant advantage of plant wearable devices, benefiting from the interface between devices and plants with excellent adaptability and conformability. However, naturally growing plant surfaces often possess anti-adhesive structures, such as waxy layers and microhairs. Therefore, interface adhesion between the devices and plants is crucial. In nature, the surface of plants is commonly observed to be adhered to by other organisms, and the adhesive strategies underlying these interactions offer promising potential to inspire the design of future wearable devices. In this review, we begin with the intriguing phenomenon of many plant surfaces in nature being attached or adhered to by other organisms, employing biomimetic thinking to summarize and extract various biomimetic adhesion mechanisms. Furthermore, by combining the designs of adhesive layers involved in plant devices reported in recent literature, we further analyze and summarize the interfacial adhesion between plants and devices, aiming to provide readers with diverse strategies. Finally, we conclude and provide an outlook on the new demands and future development directions of interface adhesion between plants and wearable devices.
用于植物健康监测的可穿戴柔性设备在实现传统农业的深度信息化和智能化以及为植物学中的植物生理学开辟新的研究方向方面具有广阔前景。信号的高质量采集或释放构成了植物可穿戴设备的显著优势，这得益于设备与植物之间具有出色适应性和贴合性的界面。然而，自然生长的植物表面通常具有抗粘附结构，如蜡质层和微毛。因此，设备与植物之间的界面粘附至关重要。在自然界中，通常可以观察到植物表面会被其他生物附着，这些相互作用背后的粘附策略为激发未来可穿戴设备的设计提供了有前景的潜力。在这篇综述中，我们从自然界中许多植物表面被其他生物附着或粘附这一有趣现象入手，运用仿生思维总结并提取各种仿生粘附机制。此外，通过结合近期文献中报道的植物设备所涉及的粘附层设计，我们进一步分析并总结植物与设备之间的界面粘附，旨在为读者提供多样的策略。最后，我们进行总结并展望植物与可穿戴设备之间界面粘附的新需求和未来发展方向。
