Gecko-like glue is said to be stickiest yet
By Julie Steenhuysen CHICAGO (Reuters) - A new type of dry glue designed to mimic gecko feet is 10 times stickier than the gravity-defying lizards, and three times stickier than other gecko-inspired glues, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. "It's the stickiest dry glue yet," said Liming Dai of the University of Dayton, who reported on the glue in the journal Science. A 1-inch (2.5-cm) square of the adhesive can support the weight of a 220-pound (100-kg) man climbing up a vertical surface, but it can be easily lifted and reapplied, an ideal material for, say, a Spider-Man suit.
