The main objective of AAM2019 international conference will be to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion on the recent developments and progress in understanding of adhesion phenomena in aqueous media inspired by natural systems. This will bring up the dialog on the questions how the knowledge on biological bonding principles and mechanisms is transferred to design of synthetic hybrid and multi-response materials with new chemistry and architectures to understand and target adhesion properties in wet environments. In addition, the aspects of testing and modelling of underwater adhesion as well as material design for biomedical and technological applications will be in focus.
