Inspired by a hitchhiking fish that uses a specialized suction organ to latch onto sharks and other marine animals, ...

Researchers offer new insight into the evolution of the suction ability of remora fishes, showcasing a bioinspired suction disk that mimics, and can exceed, the fish's uncanny powers of adhesion.

Direct measurement of pull-off stress allows for quick sample characterization with minimal user bias; Materials and Methods. Figure 1 shows the general procedure used for measuring pull-off forces ...

The pull off adhesion test measures the force of the pull required to remove the substrate from the coating, whereas the push off adhesion test measures the pressure required to push the coating away ...
