The material, described in a recent paper published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, could pave the way for anti-slip shoe soles that prevent injuries caused by falls on icy surfaces. Ice is ...

Essentially, the tufts of tiny hairs on gecko feet get so close to the contours in walls and ceilings that electrons from the ...

the final step is selecting the look of the floor within the range of materials at that slip resistance grade. The Grid Surface The Grid Surface is a special anti-slip surface developed in ...

Researchers from the University of Minho in Portugal started with silicone rubber polymer and added zirconia nanoparticles to ...

And nearly half of these incidents happen on ice. Current anti-slip shoe soles rely on materials such as natural rubber that repel the layer of liquid water that sits atop pavement on a rainy day. On ...
