Diverse physical interlocking devices have recently been developed based on one-dimensional (1D), high-aspect-ratio inorganic and organic nanomaterials. Although these 1D nanomaterial-based can provide reliable repeatable shear adhesion, their adhesion in the normal direction is typically very weak. In addition, high-aspect-ratio, slender structures are mechanically less durable. this study, we demonstrate a highly flexible robust system that exhibits strong reversible between...
