Shape memory polymers as direct contact dry adhesives for transfer printing and general use
… Nonetheless, the study and development of dry adhesives, which rely on ubiquitous intermolecular attractions to repeatedly form and break attachment to their adherends, have garnered substantial interest in recent decades. High performance artificial dry adhesives may unlock the door for …

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 …
