This paper presents a technology that enhances wet adhesion by mimicking the hierarchical structures of amphibians and octopi. The research evaluates the adhesive strength, durability, and biosignal sensing capabilities of a skin electrode patch, demonstrating superior adhesion, especially in wet environments. This technology holds potential for various applications, including medical patches and wearable devices.
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...
