摘要: During the last few years several research groups have focused on fabrication of artificial gecko inspired adhesives. For mimicking these structures, different polymers are used as structure material, such polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), polyurethanes (PU), and polypropylene (PP). While can be structured easily for adhesion systems, effects repeated testing never been investigated closely. In this paper we report effect measurements commercially available poly(dimethylsiloxane) polymer kit Sylgard 184 (Dow Corning). We show that force decreases a function contact cycles. The rate change final value found to depend details PDMS synthesis structuring.
