Carbon nanotube dry adhesives with temperature-enhanced adhesion over a large temperature range
Adhesives typically lose adhesion strength at high temperatures. Here, the authors design a carbon nanotube dry adhesive that becomes stronger with rising temperature, and ascribe this counterintuitive behavior to a thermally-induced nanoscale interlocking mechanism.
