The phenomenon of rate-dependent adhesion has long been recognized as an intricate problem, and the so-far-developed physics and mechanics-based approaches resulted in analytical relations between the implicit form between the work of adhesion and the contact front velocity which are difficult to implement in practice. To address this issue in the framework of spherical indentation, the adhesion relaxation test in a nominal point contact is introduced to estimate the rate-dependent adhesion. Based on a stretched exponent approximation for the contact radius evolution with time, a relatively simple four-parameter model is proposed for the functional relation between the work of adhesion and the contact front velocity, and its fitting performance is compared to that of the known Greenwood-Johnson and Persson-Brener models.

There is a growing demand for biobased functional materials that can ensure targeted pesticide delivery and minimize active ingredient loss in the agricultural sector. In this work, we demonstrated the use of esterified lignin nanoparticles (ELNPs) as carriers and controlled-release agents of hydrophobic compounds. Curcumin was selected as a hydrophobic model compound and was incorporated during ELNP fabrication with entrapment efficiencies exceeding 95%.

Adhesive contact phenomena play a crucial role in various scientific and engineering fields. However, considering viscoelasticity, which is essential for understanding practical applications involving soft materials like polymers, makes analysis challenging. Traditional elastic contact models such as the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts and Maugis-Dugdale models often fail to account for viscoelastic behavior.

The contact behaviour of mushroom-shaped pillars has been extensively studied for their superior adhesive properties, often inspired by natural attachment systems observed in insects. Typically, pillars are modeled with linear elastic materials in the literature; in reality, the soft materials used for their fabrication exhibit a rate-dependent constitutive behaviour. Additionally, conventional models focus solely on the detachment phase of the pillar, overlooking the analysis of the attachment phase.

Unlabelled: Delivery of drug using nanocarriers tethered with vasculature-targeting epitopes aims to maximize the therapeutic efficacy of the drug while minimizing the drug side effects. Circadian rhythm which is governed by the central nervous system has implications for targeted drug delivery due to sleep-wake cycle changes in blood flow dynamics. This paper presents an advanced fluid dynamics modeling method that is based on viscous incompressible shear-rate fluid (blood) coupled with an advection-diffusion equation to simulate the formation of drug concentration gradients in the blood stream and buildup of concentration at the targeted site.
