Enhanced biocompatibility and multidirectional wet adhesion of insect-like synergistic wrinkled pillars with microcavities

Various bioinspired adhesives have been used to develop adhesive medical patches capable of robust and comfortable attachment to dry and wet skin for healthcare applications. However, it is challenging to maintain adhesion on the application of shear and pulling forces, especially on rough, curved, and wet surfaces, such those of the human body. Here, highly biocompatible adhesive patch with wrinkled mushroom-shaped structures having...
