On the Effect of a Rate-Dependent Work of Adhesion in the Detachment of a Dimpled Surface

Patterned surfaces have proven to be a valuable design to enhance adhesion, increasing hysteresis and the detachment stress at pull-off. To obtain high adhesive performance, soft materials are commonly, used, which easily conform to the countersurface, such as soft polymers and elastomers. Such mate...
