Reusable Sticky Tape Could Hold Up Your TV
For years scientists have tried to make strong, reusable adhesives by mimicking the microscopic hair-like structures on gecko toes that give the lizard its climbing ability. But those structures are hard to make, limiting the adhesives’ size to a few centimeters. Now researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, have come up with a different gecko-inspired structure that works even better. They have created a reusable adhesive fabric that can be easily and cheaply made tens of centimeters wide and is three times stronger than gecko feet. Hand-sized patches of the material cling to smooth glass even while holding 300 kilograms of weight, the researchers report in the journal Advanced Materials. This is much more than any other reversible adhesive can hold, they say. A good adhesive needs two conflicting traits, says Ali Dhinojwala, a professor of polymer science at the University of Akron in Ohio. The UMass researchers have taken a simpler approach.
