Shape Memory Polymer-Based Switchable Bioinspired Microstructured Dry Adhesives.

Reconciling strong adhesion with easy detachment remains a fundamental challenge for interfacial science. Here, we present a switchable bioinspired microstructured dry adhesive utilizing shape memory polymers (SMPs). By exploiting the shape memory effect to dynamically modulate the material modulus and contact area, th...
