theoretical studies which range from insect adhesion, bacterial adhesion and skin friction to artificial biomimetic systems, e.g., snake-skin inspired polymer patterns or geckotape. The Thematic Series does not attempt to give a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of biological contact mechanics
