主 题:biomimetic design reversible adhesion composite cross-scale robotics
摘 要:Bio-inspired reversible adhesion has significant potential in many fields requiring flexible grasping and manipulation,such as precision manufacturing,flexible electronics,and intelligent *** extensive efforts for adhesive synthesis with a high adhesion strength at the interface,an effective strategy to actively tune the adhesion capacity between a strong attachment and an easy detachment spanning a wide range of scales has been ***,we report a novel soft-hard-soft sandwiched composite design to achieve a stable,repeatable,and reversible strong adhesion with an easily scalable performance for a large area ranging from~1.5 to 150 cm2 and a high load ranging from~20 to 700 *** studies indicate that this design can enhance the uniform loading for attachment by restraining the lateral shrinkage in the natural state,while facilitate a flexible peeling for detachment by causing stress concentration in the bending state,yielding an adhesion switching ratio of~54 and a switching time of less than~0.2 *** design is further integrated into versatile grippers,climbing robots,and human climbing grippers,demonstrating its robust scalability for a reversible strong *** biomimetic design bridges microscopic interfacial interactions with macroscopic controllable applications,providing a universal and feasible paradigm for adhesion design and control.
