Shed Light

To shed light on the role of suction in adhesion of microstructure with mushroom-shaped terminal elements, we compared pull-off forces measured at different retraction velocities on structured and smooth surfaces under different pressure conditions. The results obtained allow us to suggest that suction may contribute up to 10 per cent of the pull-off force measured on the structured surfaces at high velocities. We therefore conclude that the attachment ability of this biomimetic adhesive must not be solely based on van der Waals forces. Our experiments also suggest a change in visco-elastic properties of the structured surfaces compared with the bulk material. Based on the results obtained, it is assumed that this adhesive may be suitable in dynamic pick-and-drop processes even under vacuum conditions at which sufficiently high adhesive capability is maintained.

Abstract The results of the x-ray study of rubber structure may be summarized as follow : (1) The unit cell is monoclinic, space group C2h5, a=8.53±0.05, b=8.16±0.05, c=12.66±0.05 A˚, β=83°20′, with four isoprene chains in the cis modification passing through the cell, which contains 8 C5H8 residues. (2) In the unstretched state there is a random distribution of ordered crystalline regions and disordered regions. On stretching, the crystalline regions become orientated in one or more crystallographic directions, thereby giving rise to the x-ray fibre diagram. The crystalline regions may be identified with the micelles, which are groups of Hauptvalenzketten bound together by van der Waals' forces; a given Hauptvalenzkette is undoubtedly associated with more than one micelle. It is possible that the abnormal elastic properties are due to the chains becoming aligned parallel to the direction of stretching, and in addition there may be some extension of the chains themselves. Such an effect has been observed by Astbury in his work on keratin. Some recent work on the structure of butadiene and its derivatives in the solid state is described, which, although offering no immediate solution of our problem, may prove of value when further accurate data are available, both for these compounds and for the corresponding rubbers.

Chiral Centers

The design of new chiral materials usually requires stereoselective organic synthesis to create molecules with chiral centers. Less commonly, achiral molecules can self-assemble into chiral materials, despite the absence of intrinsic molecular chirality. Here, we demonstrate the assembly of high-symmetry molecules into a chiral van der Waals structure by synthesizing crystals of C<sub>60</sub>(SnI<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> from icosahedral buckminsterfullerene (C<sub>60</sub>) and tetrahedral SnI4 molecules through spontaneous self-assembly. The SnI<sub>4</sub> tetrahedra template the Sn atoms into a chiral cubic three-connected net of the SrSi<sub>2</sub> type that is held together by van der Waals forces. Our results represent the remarkable emergence of a self-assembled chiral material from two of the most highly symmetric molecules, demonstrating that almost any molecular, nanocrystalline, or engineered precursor can be considered when designing chiral assemblies.

The evolution of the interface and interaction of h-BN and graphene/h-BN (Gr/h-BN) on Cu(111)–Ni and Ni(111)–Cu surface alloys versus the Ni/Cu atomic percentage on the alloy surface were comparatively studied by DFT-D2, including critical long-range van der Waals forces.
