Research abstract
Triton Systems Inc. proposes to develop a bio-mimetic dry adhesive with micro/nano scale structures similar to gecko’s feet. This new dry adhesive is designed to have the features of good shear strength to hold more than 1 kg respirator mask on face, great peripheral sealing property to maintain good contact with facial skin surface in the presence of various contaminants, hygienic, durable, easy to clean and no pain upon peeling due to its special designed structure above the microfibrillar surface. The chemical composition of the proposed dry adhesive will also make it compatible to human skin, no skin irritation in service, and having great thermal stability and chemical resistance. The new adhesive will be tested on simulated skin and the testing results will be compared with the model prediction.
