Air Bubble Bridge‐Based Bioinspired Underwater Adhesion

Wet adhesion is greatly demanded in fields of wearable devices, wound dressings, and smart robotics. However, reusable, noninvasive and convenient adhesive pads in the liquid environment have remained a challenge. Here, a novel concept of underwater adhesion inspired by the diving beetle, which utilizes the air bubbles as an adhesive to realize nondestructive and repeatable adhesion working across a wide range of scales is shown. The mechanism...
