Wet Bio-Adhesion Technology Using Flexible Micro-Cylinders Inspired by a Beetle’s Structure

This study introduces a technology that maintains high adhesion even in wet or moist environments by developing perforated micro-cylinders (PMMCs) inspired by the footpads of a diving beetle. Unlike conventional dry-adhesion techniques, this patch uses an oil-loadable substance to absorb water and oil from the skin surface, providing strong and stable attachment. It shows potential applications for surgical tools and wearable devices.
