Photoswitching between Water‐Tolerant Adhesion and Swift Release by Inverting Liquid Crystal Fingerprint Topography

Abstract Although switchable adhesive surfaces are important and desirable for soft robotics, it is still challenging to replicate nature's switchable adhesion capability on artificial surfaces, especially for underwater applications. Here polymeric coatings with fingerprint topographies that a...
