Fabrication and characterization of the nano- and micro-particles applied dry adhesives
Fabrication and characterization of the nano- and micro-particles applied dry adhesivesDry adhesives;Cu nanoparticle;Polymethylmethacrylate bead;Adhesion strength;In this study, the micro- and nano-particles were used and their shapes were transferred into the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film to fabricate the dry adhesives and their properties were investigated. The Cu nanoparticles of the sizes of 20 nm, 40 nm and 70 nm and the polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) beads of the size of $5{\\mu}m$ were used to transfer their images and the resultant properties of the dry adhesives were compared.
