| Title | Introduction to Biomimetics and Bioinspiration : Materials and Surfaces for Green Science and Technology |
| Author(s) | Bhushan, Bharat |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXV, 769 p. 455 illus., 242 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of biomimetics and biologically inspired materials, capturing the essence of innovation that draws inspiration from nature. Featuring diverse examples of biomimetics, the book explores surfaces exhibiting characteristics such as roughness-induced super-phobicity/philicity, self-cleaning mechanisms, antifouling properties, low drag, reversible adhesion, high hardness, and mechanical toughness. It also covers phenomena like water harvesting, purification, insect locomotion, and piercing. The book emphasizes durable materials and surfaces with a strong focus on the Lotus Effect, superoleophobic/philic surfaces, anti-biofouling, water purification, oil-water separation, shark skin-inspired low-drag surfaces, gecko-inspired reversible adhesion, nanofabrication, water-harvesting, and mosquito-inspired painless piercing. This is the first textbook on biomimetics and bioinspired surfaces. It is tailored for undergraduate or graduate students of materials science, chemistry, physics, and biology, and serves as an excellent resource for a one-semester course in biomimetics/bioinspiration while also functioning as a valuable textbook for applied nanotechnology courses. Accessible to both novices and experts alike, as well as practitioners, solution seekers, and the intellectually curious, this book is poised to contribute to the advancement of biomimetics, fostering a deeper understanding of nature's design brilliance and its transformative potential in materials science |

| Title | Biophysics of Skin and Its Treatments : Structural, Nanotribological, and Nanomechanical Studies |
| Author(s) | Bhushan, Bharat |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XIV, 165 p. 77 illus., 26 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a comprehensive overview of the structural, nanotribological and nanomechanical properties of skin with and without cream treatment as a function of operating environment. The biophysics of skin as the outer layer covering human or animal body is discussed as a complex biological structure. Skin cream is used to improve skin health and create a smooth, soft, and flexible surface with moist perception by altering the surface roughness, friction, adhesion, elastic modulus, and surface charge of the skin surface. |

| Title | Biomimetics : Bioinspired Hierarchical-Structured Surfaces for Green Science and Technology |
| Author(s) | Bhushan, Bharat |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XIV, 350 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents an overview of the general field of biomimetics - lessons from nature. It presents various examples of biomimetics, including roughness-induced superomniphobic surfaces which provide functionality of commercial interest. The major focus in the book is on lotus effect, rose petal effect, shark skin effect, and gecko adhesion.?? For each example, the book first presents characterization of an object to understand how a natural object provides functionality, followed by modeling and then fabrication of structures in the lab using nature???s route to verify one???s understanding of nature and provide guidance for development of optimum structures. Once it is understood how nature does it, examples of fabrication of optimum structures using smart materials and fabrication techniques, are presented. Examples of nature inspired objects are also presented throughout |

| Title | Tribology Issues and Opportunities in MEMS : Proceedings of the NSF/AFOSR/ASME Workshop on Tribology Issues and Opportunities in MEMS held in Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A., 9???11 November 1997 |
| Author(s) | Bhushan, Bharat |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1998. |
| Description | XIV, 655 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is already about a billion dollars a year industry and is growing rapidly. So far major emphasis has been placed on the fabrication processes for various devices. There are serious issues related to tribology, mechanics, surfacechemistry and materials science in the operationand manufacturingof many MEMS devices and these issues are preventing an even faster commercialization. Very little is understood about tribology and mechanical properties on micro- to nanoscales of the materials used in the construction of MEMS devices. The MEMS community needs to be exposed to the state-of-the-artoftribology and vice versa. Fundamental understanding of friction/stiction, wear and the role of surface contamination and environmental debris in micro devices is required. There are significantadhesion, friction and wear issues in manufacturing and actual use, facing the MEMS industry. Very little is understood about the tribology of bulk silicon and polysilicon films used in the construction ofthese microdevices. These issues are based on surface phenomenaand cannotbe scaled down linearly and these become increasingly important with the small size of the devices. Continuum theory breaks down in the analyses, e. g. in fluid flow of micro-scale devices. Mechanical properties ofpolysilicon and other films are not well characterized. Roughness optimization can help in tribological improvements. Monolayers of lubricants and other materials need to be developed for ultra-low friction and near zero wear. Hard coatings and ion implantation techniques hold promise |
