Effective elastic modulus of isolated gecko setal arrays.
Conventional pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are fabricated from soft viscoelastic materials that satisfy Dahlquist's criterion for tack with a Young's modulus (E) of 100 kPa or less at room temperature and 1 Hz. In contrast, the adhesive on the toes of geckos is made of beta-keratin, a stiff material with E at least four orders of magnitude greater than the upper limit of Dahlquist's crite...
متن کاملAncestrally high elastic modulus of gecko setal b-keratin
Typical bulk adhesives are characterized by soft, tacky materials with elastic moduli well below 1 MPa. Geckos possess subdigital adhesives composed mostly of b-keratin, a relatively stiff material. Biological adhesives like those of geckos have inspired empirical and modelling research which predicts that even stiff materials can be effective adhesives if they take on a fibrillar form. The mol...

متن کاملGeckoprinting: assembly of microelectronic devices on unconventional surfaces by transfer printing with isolated gecko setal arrays.
Developing electronics in unconventional forms provides opportunities to expand the use of electronics in diverse applications including bio-integrated or implanted electronics. One of the key challenges lies in integrating semiconductor microdevices onto unconventional substrates without glue, high pressure or temperature that may cause damage to microdevices, substrates or interfaces. This pa...
متن کاملUsing Setal Micromechanics to Predict Gecko Adhesive Performance
INTRODUCTION The fibrillar adhesive toe pads of geckos enable extraordinary climbing abilities via strong attachment and rapid detachment. Previous research using a single species, Gekko gecko, proposed that the adhesive system could be modeled as an array of cantilever beam-like elements. In this study, we examined the similarities and differences in setal morphology and performance between Ge...
