8.1 Introduction
Tribology is the branch of science to understand Lubrications, Friction and Wear
incident for collaboration surfaces in relative motion as shown in Fig.8.1. The main
aim of study in tribology is Tribosystem [1]. Tribology has various subelds like
Nanotribology, Space tribology and Biotribology. Along with the expeditious rate
of technological growth, there is a higher level of requirement for eco-friendly
application of tribology and can be renewed. Hence it is mandatory to do research
on environmentally friendly tribology [1, 2].
Practicing sustainable and environmentally friendly techniques has become a
major concern in various research elds in the twenty-rst century due to the environment’s declining health since the industrial revolution [3]. Green tribology is one
solution that can be used. There are 12 principles formulated in green tribology
which are benecial for the growth of animal tribology, namely [4]:
• Minimizing friction. Friction is mechanisms that remove material from solid sur-
faces via contact and sliding.
• Minimizing wear.
• Reduction or total elimination of lubrication, including self-lubrication.
• Natural lubrication.
• Biodegradable lubrication.
• Using sustainable chemical and engineering principles.
• Biomimetic approaches.
• Surface texture.
• Environmental implications of coatings.
• Real-time monitoring.
• Design for degradation.
• Sustainable energy applications [4, 5].

There are three elds in green tribology namely
• Biomimetic for tribological applications
• Environmentally friendly lubrication
• Tribology for renewable energy applications
Approx. 3 billion years of study on biological evolution various benecial laws
have been developed in the different streams of life which are benecial in the treatment of several types of damage. Inspired by this, it developed the eld of
Biomimetic even more interesting studies for the formation of materials that can
renew themselves [6]. Biomimetic is one of the major applications that play an
important role in the development of Green tribology which is mandatory for the
growth of animals [7].
Biomimetic implies an understanding of biological structure and phenomena and
their comparable technological applications, procedures and methods. Biomimetic
is not just an imitating nature, both in functional and materials as well as in creative
term but also important to understand the principles of environment to assist in
understanding technological and analogue queries, which we can solved with the
application of optimized technology [8]. Biomimetic science is about nding the
wealth of natural experiences that we can use for human-made products [9].
Biomimetics can imitate living things like animals and plants, due to which scientists have focused on biomimetic that mimics animals [8]. It is mechanism, materials and system developed by living organism through imitating design and program
found in environment. Biomimetic system and design that exist in environment can
include non-living and living things. Biomimetics can imitate living things such as
animals and plants. So far, researchers have only focused on biomimetics that mimics animals [10].
The aim of this study is to determine the type of animal that is much often imitated by biomimetic-based products. Biomimetics have few limitations of the problems that mimic the attributes of animals that are linked to animal tribology [11].
The state of the art of this research can be seen in Fig.8.2. Tribology is the study
of difference between characters of biomimetic-based materials developed from
imitating living organism [13]. There are few references in the eld of tribology:

self-cleaning ability.

method can be seen in Fig.8.3 [14, 15].

The study on tribology starts from the collection of data, then Data processing, Data
comparison and at last Data grouping [16]. The research-based data retrieved were
then analysed to obtain a conclusion. The research data obtained were then analysed
to obtain a conclusion [17]. The rst step of this tribology-based study are preliminary studies and review studies interconnected to the biomimetics. After that,
research continued with the identication of problems depending on facts and data
[18]. Then data were stored on biomimetic attributes that mimic animal traits. After

8 Animal Tribology
that data is processed which is then compared to various attributes and then the
biomimetic data is collected that imitates animal’s attributes. After that an assessment of the valuable data that has been compared and grouped is held out [19]. Then
a comparative analysis of data was brought out for individual of the grouped data.
Then overall conclusion is drawn [18, 19].
221
8.2 Animal Tribology
The natural world displays so many fascinating tribological events. This can be seen
in examples in many animals [22]. Migrating birds such as the albatross that y
extremely long distances have dark wing tops. The temperature difference between
bright and dark coloured top wing results in the increase in temperature in dark
coloured wing top [23, 24]. This reduces skin drag force over the wing [25].
Comparing the efciency of ying style in bats and birds, they found that morphology, ight style and wake dynamics in the two animals determine the efciency of
their ight mode [26, 27]. One ight mode may be efcient for one type of animal,
but not the other. Adhesive force in gecko’s foot has also been studied [28, 29]. The
presence of nearly ve hundred thousand keratinous hairs or setae on one foot of a
gecko [30] is the factor that made them the largest creature capable of producing
high force of adhesion with minimum risk [31, 32]. The octopus Octopus vulgaris
inspires the solution for soft robotics to exert effective forces in unstructured environments [33]. The smart solution of the octopus to crawl, grasp and manipulate
with its same limb is suitable to be adopted in the development for a more complex
soft robot, which with minimum control, can perform diverse tasks [34, 35]. Specic
ventral surface ornamentation of The California King Snake Lampropeltis getula
californiae reduces wear by having specic ventral surface ornamentation [36, 37].
Such ornamentation reduces the frictional coefcient and generates anisotropic frictional properties, and reduces stick-slip vibrations during sliding [38–40].
There are also numerous behaviours and characters in insects that portray tribological events. This can be seen from the extremely high abundance and diversity of
insects in the natural world. We identify four [4] main characters in insects that can
be linked to tribology as shown in Fig.8.4 [41].
8.2.1 Joint
Joints in some insect species have been found to have friction minimization effects
[42]. The hind legs of orthopteran insects (e.g. grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids)
are highly specialized for jumping. Surfaces and textures of the hind femur-tibia
joint of katydids (Fig.8.4) are unique with friction coefcient at its coupling surface
of 0.053+0.001 [43, 44]. Synergistic interaction between the hierarchical surface

222

texture/pattern on the femoral surfaces, nano-graded internal nanostructure of the
articulating joints, and the presence of lubricating lipids make the joints free from
any signs of wear or damage [45, 46].
In Pachnoda marginata and Geotrupes stercorarius beetles on the other hand,
high stiffness of the joint material and hydrophobicity of the joint surface are the
two factors that lead to the minimized friction in the joints [46].
8.2.2 Exoskeleton Contact withSurrounding
Insect’s external skin or its exoskeleton is continuously in contact with its surrounding. This surrounding can be the air, water or soil (or wood in the case of woodliving insects) [47]. Numerous studies have demonstrated the protective qualities of
an insect’s outer coat espcally in case of American cockroach (Periplaneta ameri-
cana), which is caused by a substance known as wax. Wax produced by the cockroach has lubrication properties that form thin lms and can repel dust (self-cleaning)
[48]. Superhydrophobic surfaces in insects particularly in the ones that live in the
water retain air lm and ultimately lower friction [49, 50].

8 Animal Tribology
223
8.2.3 Integumentary Change
Insects undergo several moulting processes in their lives in order to grow. Majority
of them also make their way out from their pupae or cocoon into adulthood. Presence
of moulting uid has been reported in assisting the process [51].
8.2.4 Other Body Parts withIts Surrounding
Insects use hairy or smooth adhesive pads to stick to almost all known surfaces [52].
Contact between these adhesive pads and the surface substrate is mediated via nanometre thin lms of adhesive uid [51]. Heel pads (euplantulae) in many stick insects
and mantophasmids on the other hand functions differently though. Adhesion
mechanism does not occur in Euplantulae [51]. Triangular sawtooth microstructures
in the mouth fascicle of mosquitoes and cicadas have been manipulated in the invention of bionic drag painless needles [53, 54]. The non-smooth surface structure of
the mosquitoes’ and cicadas’ fascicle with obvious principles of drag reduction
effect were adopted in the needles’ design. Bionic needle surface’s microstructure
reduces needles’ contact area, form rolling, friction and thus resistance to needle
piercing. In short, there are so many tribological events in nature, particularly in
insects that can be manipulated, applied and benetted for our daily lives. Friction
reduction that prevents wear and damage, increase of joint efciency, enhancement
of adhesion mechanism, smart solutions in solving multitasking, self-cleaning, and
pain reduction in needle piercing are some tribological events in insects that have
revolutionized the well-being of human. They are still many more tribological features in insects that are open for discovery [55, 56].
On the basis of the review studies, it was found that researchers carried out a lot
of biomimetic research that imitated the types of properties of animal groups.
Figure8.5 shows that about 53% of vertebrates and 47% of invertebrates have been
studied by researchers for the benet of biomimetics. In Table8.1, it can be seen the
grouping of animal species imitated for material purposes and biomimetic design
related to the application of tribology. The animals mentioned in Table 8.1 have
unique characteristics that can inspire the manufacture of articial products for tribological purposes [56]. Synovial uid in mammals really keeps joints from wearing out easily. Until now, researchers have not found and will continue to try to
imitate a uid formula that is similar to synovial characteristics in order to meet the
lubrication needs. The gecko’s feet, which have extraordinary adhesion, can be imitated by making synthetic keratin and choosing materials that are super hydrophobic. The dust-repelling properties can be imitated from the lubricating wax produced
by cockroaches. Imitation of the structure of spider silk bers can enhance the
strength of any material. The structure of the best needle design for the world of
health can imitate that of mosquitoes and the surface structure of crickets. Imitation
of the structure of spider silk bers can enhance the strength of any material. The

movement of ships in the sea can be even faster if they imitate the shape of the
structure of the skin of a shark. The results of the study show that so far, researchers
have used more biomimetic properties than imitating the characteristics of reptiles
and insects. The result of this research is that the material produced by mimicking
the biomimetic properties of reptiles and insects is still the dominant one used in
nding solutions related to tribology [54–56].
8.3 Application ofTribology inBiological System
The application of tribology in biological systems is a rapidly growing eld and
extends well beyond the conventional boundaries. Biomedical tribological systems
involve an extensive range of synthetic materials and natural tissues, including cartilage, blood vessels, heart, tendons, ligaments, and skin as shown in Fig.8.4.
These materials operate in complex interactive biological environments.
Biotribologists incorporate concepts of friction, wear, and lubrication of these biological surfaces in various applications, such as the design of joints and prosthetic
devices, the wear of screws and plates in bone fracture repair, wear of denture and
restorative materials, wear of replacement heart valves, and even the tribology of
contact lenses [57–61].
