Arta Medica, 2020 Objectives. Urbanization is a continuous and multidimensional process, often associated with industrialization, modernization and development, which inevitably influences the health of the population. The emphasis on this process is directly proportional to the degree of influence of different risk factors that define urbanization and assessment of the

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.
