Gecko-Inspired Intelligent Adhesive Structures for Rough Surfaces.

ABSTRACT: Biomimetic dry adhesive structures, inspired by geckos' climbing abilities, have attracted research attention in recent years. However, achieving superior adhesion on a rough surface remains an important challenge, which limits practical applications. Conventional bionic adhesion methods perform well on smooth surfaces, but adhesion strength drastically decreases on rough surfaces due to the reduced contact area. Generally, various adhesive structures have been proposed to increase the contact area without assessing adhesion states, against obtaining good performance on rough surfaces. If an intelligent adhesive approach could be introduced on rough surfaces, it would be beneficial for promoting the development of gecko-inspired adhesives. However, existing adhesive structures with the sen
