Underwater Dry Adhesives: Reversible Underwater Dry Adhesion of a Shape Memory Polymer (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 3/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
Synthetic reversible dry adhesives often inspired by gecko feet have been believed not to work on submerged surfaces. The shape memory polymer (SMP) adhesives presented in this work exhibit underwater yet dry adhesion reversibly. The cover art represents a gecko which adopts the SMP adhesive gloves for submerged wall climbing. More details can be found in the article number 1801542 by Jun Kyu Park, Jeffrey D. Eisenhaure, and Seok Kim.
