Adhesion and friction force coupling of gecko setal arrays implications for structured adhesive surfaces

Adhesion and friction force coupling of gecko setal arrays : implications for structured adhesive surfaces

The extraordinary climbing ability of geckos is partially attributed to the fine structure of their toe pads, which contain arrays consisting of thousands of micrometer-sized stalks (setae) that are in turn terminated by millions of fingerlike pads (spatulae) having nanoscale dimensions. Using a sur...
