Nanoporous Monolithic Microsphere Arrays Have Anti-Adhesive Properties Independent of Humidity

Nanoporous Monolithic Microsphere Arrays Have Anti-Adhesive Properties Independent of Humidity

Bioinspired artificial surfaces with tailored adhesive properties have attracted significant interest. While fibrillar adhesive pads mimicking gecko feet are optimized for strong reversible adhesion, monolithic microsphere arrays mimicking the slippery zone of the pitchers of carnivorous plants of t...
