@article{Banik2020DynamicFP, title={Dynamic Friction Performance of Hierarchical Biomimetic Surface Pattern Inspired by Frog Toe‐Pad}, author={Arnob Banik and K. T. Tan}, journal={Advanced Materials Interfaces}, year={2020}, volume={7} }
In this study, the dynamic friction performance of frog toe‐pad inspired surface patterns is investigated in three folds. First, frog toe‐pad morphology is mimicked, designed, and fabricated using 3D printing technology. Friction coefficients of the models are measured experimentally over a wet medium, with varying velocity, load, and sliding direction. Furthermore, time is recorded to reach a 5 mm height by the water flow through a steady model in another experimental set‐up. Second, numerical…

Use of biomimetic hexagonal surface texture in friction against lubricated skin
- BiologyJournal of The Royal Society Interface

The hexagonal surface texture is recognized as a friction-oriented feature capable of suppressing both stick–slip and hydroplaning while enabling friction tuning, and this design of natural friction surfaces is compared to textures developed for working in similar conditions in disposable safety razors.

Adhesion and Detachment of the Toe Pads of Tree Frogs
- Biology, Engineering

The experiments on attachment lend general support to the theory that toe pads stick by wet adhesion, supported both by observations of peeling in single toe pads of anaesthetised frogs and by the inability of frogs to adhere to vertical surfaces in a head-down orientation.
