Abstract: Inspired by the micro-nano ciliary structures on the toes of geckos and beetles in nature, a kind of biomimetic dry adhesive with mushroom-shaped microarray composed of polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)was “dipped” and fabricated by a feeding experimental device. The contact area of a single fiber of the mushroom-shaped bionic dry adhesive is 1.12×10-3 mm2, the maximum shear adhesion strength is up to 2.65 N/cm2, and the maximum normal adhesion strength is 5.18 N/cm2. Compared with manual manufacturing, the adhesion area increased by 33.74%, and the shear and normal adhesion strength increased by 225% and 280% respectively. Considering the SEM images, optical micrograph, adhesive state and adhesion work between adhesive and contact surface, the adhesion performance was conducted by theoretical analysis. By this method, the adhesion angle of the mushroom-shaped biomimetic dry adhesive was reduced, and the diameter, flatness, effective adhesion work, adhesion area, and flexibility of the microarray were significantly improved. The adhesive could better adapt to the contact surface with good repeatability and significantly improve the shear and normal adhesive strength. This work provides a novel idea for manufacturing mushroom-shaped biomimetic dry adhesive.
