Abstract
Insect adhesion systems can enhance adhesion forces on wet or rough surfaces via oil-loadable spherical chambers and mushroom-shaped tips, enabling the achievement of an improved suction effect. In addition, highly conformal polymeric bio-adhesives with multiscale 3-dimensional (3D) architectures have been developed for stable adhesion performance on soft, wet, and non-flat skin or organ tissue. In this work, we propose a highly adaptable,...
