Biomimetic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/carbon fiber lamellar adhesive composite in thermal vacuum environment

In this paper, the adhesion properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/carbon fiber composites in a thermal vacuum environment were obtained by a self-made adhesion test platform. Ladybird-biomimetic PDMS/carbon fiber lamellar composite imitated the gradient stiffness structure of ladybird setae. The influences on the adhesive material properties were investigated, including the mass-ratio of base and curing-agent, ambient pressure and...
