Dry adhesive surfaces based on high density, high aspect ratio, hierarchical polymeric nano-structures

Gecko’s dry attachment system has been acknowledged to be the most efficient among all the biological attachment systems. Many attempts have been made to emulate the topographic features of the gecko feet to construct artificial dry adhesive tapes. However, many of the gecko inspired structures prod...
