The amazing adhesion of gecko pads to almost any kind of surfaces has inspired a very
active research direction over the last decade: the investigation of how geckos achieve this …

An overview of the recent progress in the development of gecko-inspired synthetic dry
adhesives is presented, with particular emphasis on two major structural elements of …

The complex structures that allow geckos to repeatably adhere to surfaces consist of
multilevel branching fibers with specialized tips. We present a novel technique for fabricating …

Abstract This Feature Article aims to highlight our recent efforts to develop more robust
gecko‐inspired dry adhesives and their applications. Due to recent progress in micro‐and …

In the past two years, there have been a large number of publications on the topic of
biomimetic dry adhesives from modeling, fabrication and testing perspectives. We review …

Since the introduction of ultraviolet (UV)-curable polyurethane acrylate (PUA) materials in
2004, our group has extensively used the material in various applications ranging from …

This feature article provides an overview of the recently developed two-step UV-assisted
capillary force lithography and its application to fabricating well-defined micro/nanoscale …

Robust and inexpensive dry adhesives would have a multitude of potential applications, but
replicating the impressive adhesive organs of many small animals has proved challenging …

This paper reports an easy means to imitate the “gecko's feet” by constructing ZnO nanorods
on Zn foil through a simple and inexpensive solution chemistry approach. The ZnO …

This paper is devoted to development of technology of formation and obtaining of the design
