An extremely simple structural design of a composite material composed of an elastomer sheet and hard beads embedded at the surface is proposed to realize a shape-tunable surface; it reversibly forms bumps/undulations in response to in-plane tensile strain applied to the surface. Tribological properties such as adhesion therefore become switchable.
提出了一种由弹性体薄片和表面嵌入的硬珠组成的复合材料的极其简单的结构设计,以实现可调节形状的表面;它可通过响应施加到表面的平面拉伸应变来可逆地形成凸包/起伏。因此,摩擦学性能(如附着力)变得可切换。
