title: Anisotropic adhesion properties of triangular-tip-shaped micropillars.
abstract: Directional dry adhesive microstructures consisting of high-density triangular-tip-shaped micropillars are described. The wide-tip structures allow for unique directional shear adhesion properties with respect to the peeling direction, along with relatively high normal adhesion.
