Technical Paper - In this report, we demonstrate the adhesive and frictional properties of the first commercial mushroom-shaped adhesive microstructure (MSAMS), which has been inspired by the attachment devices of beetles. It was shown that MSAMS have about twice higher pull-off force compared to a smooth control made from the same material measured on smooth substrates. MSAMS retained their adhesive performance...
