Abstract:Surface adhesion and transportation, as two typical surface behaviors of material, have been the important topics and academic frontier in the field of surface mechanics. Exploring the forming mechanism and the influence factors of the two surface effects is significantly important to the design of micro/nano-device, micro/nano- sensor, micro/nano-transportation and smart materials. The latest research progress in the fields of surface adhesion and transportation are reviewed in the present paper. The research work of the authors’ group are mainly introduced. Finally, some suggestions and future development of the surface effects are proposed.
