Effective Elastic Modulus of Structured Adhesives: From Biology to Biomimetics

Effective Elastic Modulus of Structured Adhesives: From Biology to Biomimetics

Micro- and nano-hierarchical structures (lamellae, setae, branches, and spatulae) on the toe pads of many animals play key roles for generating strong but reversible adhesion for locomotion. The hierarchical structure possesses significantly reduced, effective elastic modulus (Eeff), as compared to...
