A study of shape memory polymers and their usage in the development of directional dry adhesives
… but the one of particular interest is biomimetic dry adhesives. In this thesis, a shape memory polymer (SMP) surface with geometrically asymmetric micro-wedge array is fabricated as a reversible directional dry adhesive through a double exposure angled lithography technique. The unique shape …
