About

Brigitte A. G. Lamers is a pioneering researcher in the field of bioinspired materials and surface science, with a particular focus on developing adaptive, liquid-secreting synthetic systems. Her most notable contribution is the invention of "artificial organic skin" that actively wets its surface through field-induced liquid secretion—a breakthrough that mimics biological fluid excretion mechanisms. Unlike passive approaches relying on diffusion or pressure, Lamers' work demonstrates how electric fields can trigger controlled liquid release from solid surfaces, opening new avenues for self-lubricating, self-healing, and anti-fouling materials. Her 2020 paper on this topic has garnered 39 citations, reflecting its growing influence in materials engineering and soft robotics. By bridging biology and materials chemistry, Lamers has established herself as a key innovator in creating dynamic surfaces that respond to external stimuli. Her research holds promise for applications ranging from medical implants to smart textiles, where adaptive surface properties are critical.
