DRY ADHESIVES AND METHODS FOR MAKING DRY ADHESIVES

摘要

Dry adhesives and methods for forming dry adhesives. A method of forming a dry adhesive structure (30) on a substrate (10), comprises: forming a template backing layer (12) of energy sensitive material on the substrate (10); forming a template layer (14) of energy sensitive material on the template backing layer (12); exposing the template layer (14) to a predetermined pattern of energy; removing a portion of the template layer (14) related to the predetermined pattern of energy, and leaving a template structure (20) formed from energy sensitive material and connected to the substrate (10) via the template backing layer (12).
