conference

Adhesion has long been an important issue for mechanics and many other disciplines. Its influence spans macro-, micro-, nano- and molecular scales. When size goes down, adhesion plays a more and more significant role. Many important technologies attribute to adhesion, such as transfer printing for advanced microfabrication,  super adhesives inspired by gecko foot hairs, and self-assembly. Adhesion also has strong implications on the behavior of nanomaterials (such as nanotubes and graphenes) and biological system (such as cells).

The GRC on Adhesion
Science will be held from July 24-29, 2011, at Bates College, Lewiston,
Maine, USA. TThe goal of this conference is to encourage communication
and discussion of ideas and new unpublished resutls at the very frontier
of adhesion science, by bringing together outstanding internation
scientists from academia, industry and government, while striving to
expand traditional adhesion science into new directions such as cell
adhesion, bio-inpsired adhesives and soft matter physics and
mechanics.   The GRC offer an exciting opportunity for young
investigators to get involved at the frontier of science.   Attendees
will not only be able to discuss the progress of unpublished research

Original research papers, for oral or poster presentation, are invited for the following areas:
