Abstract
The challenge of grasping thin sheets, slender objects, and granular objects has hampered the development of mechanical grippers. In this investigation, thermoresponsive polymers and chemically treated wood were combined to develop a novel mechanical gripper with adjustable adhesion force. By switching between hot and cold water inside the mechanical gripper, the gripper could grasp and release a variety of objects. Further study revealed that the adhesion force of the mechanical gripper was related to temperature, contact area, and the material of the grasped object. Finally, the adhesion force equation was established to promote the application of the mechanical gripper.
期刊介绍：
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
