Extended Data Fig. 2: Adhesion performance of MUSAS with various lamella orientations and rows.
From: Mechanical underwater adhesive devices for soft substrates
a, Photograph of unimodal parallel-angled (para), a bimodal mixture of parallel and tilted-angled (bimodal), and tilted-angled (tilt) MUSAS with 6 and 8 rows of lamella (scale bar: 5 mm). b,c, Representative measurements of normal adhesion forces of MUSAS with different lamella orientations and number of rows (n = 5 devices per design). d,e, Representative measurements of shear adhesion forces of MUSAS with various lamella orientations and number of rows; the shear sliding ratio is calculated as the time MUSAS maintains shear adhesion after reaching the maximum or plateau, relative to the total time of the shear drag test before losing adhesion (n = 5 devices per design). f,g, Representative measurements of shear sliding distance (n = 5 devices per design).
