In article number 1807713, René Hensel and co‐workers study the detachment mechanisms of single mushroom‐shaped micropillars in adhesive arrays. The principle of frustrated total internal reflection is used to visualize the individual contacts. Simultaneously recorded forces are correlated with the number of pillars in contact. Experiments are additionally performed at varying air pressures in order...
Fibrillar adhesion pads of insects and geckoes have inspired the design of high‐performance adhesives enabling a new generation of handling devices. Despite much progress over the last decade, the current understanding of these adhesives is limited to single contact pillars and the behavior of whole arrays is largely unexplored. In the study reported here, a novel approach is taken to gain insight...
