Biomimetic Materials: Highly Adaptable and Biocompatible Octopus‐Like Adhesive Patches with Meniscus‐Controlled Unfoldable 3D Microtips for Underwater Surface and Hairy Skin (Adv. Sci. 8/2018)

Abstract

Biologically inspired adhesive architectures have been applied to develop reversible and repeatable skin patches for wound protection and smart skin‐attachable devices. In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.201800100, Changhyun Pang and co‐workers present highly adaptable, biocompatible, and repeatable skin‐adhesive patches with unfoldable 3D microtips in micropillars inspired by the infundibulum of octopus suction cups.
