The secret to this remarkable ability is the presence of an extremely large number of microscopically small hairs on each of their toe pads. , van der Waals forces) are established between hair molecules and molecules on the surface. The fact that these hairs are so small and so numerous explains why the gecko grips surfaces so tightly. To release its grip, the gecko simply curls up its toes and peels the hairs away from the surface. Using their knowledge of this mechanism of adhesion, scientists have developed several ultrastrong synthetic adhesives, one of which is an adhesive tape (shown in the second photosutures and staples to close wounds and incisions.
2 Materials Science and Engineering • 3 properties of materials. 2 From a functional perspective, the role of a materials scientist is to develop or synthesize new materials, whereas a materials engineer is called upon to create new products or systems using existing materials and/or to develop techniques for processing materials. Most graduates in materials programs are trained to be both materials scientists and materials engineers. Structure is, at this point, a nebulous term that deserves some explanation.
Terials selection process. 1 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Materials are probably more deep seated in our culture than most of us realize. Transportation, housing, clothing, communication, recreation, and food production— virtually every segment of our everyday lives is influenced to one degree or another by materials. Historically, the development and advancement of societies have been intimately tied to the members’ ability to produce and manipulate materials to fill their needs. 1 The earliest humans had access to only a very limited number of materials, those that occur naturally: stone, wood, clay, skins, and so on.
