The effect of flexible joint-like elements on the adhesive performance of nature-inspired bent mushroom-like fibers
Many organisms rely on densely packed, tilted and curved fibers of various dimensions to attach to surfaces. While the high elastic modulus of these fibers enables an extremely large number of fibers per unit area, where each fiber stands freely without sticking to its neighbors, the tilt/curvature...
