Preliminary design and exploration of vibration-mediated smart adhesives utilizing viscous and viscoelastic materials
Geckos are masters of adhesion. Gecko adhesives can attach to a surface with a strong adhesion via van der Waals dispersion forces between their foot hairs (or setae) and the adherend, and then manage to detach from the surface rapidly (~15 ms) through peeling. This has inspired many gecko-inspired...
