The effect of surface roughness on claw and adhesive hair performance in the dock beetle Gastrophysa viridula (2011, background): “This results in competing elastic forces which reduce the overall adhesion (Peressadko et al., 2005; Persson & Gorb, 2003).”
Smooth Vertical Surface Climbing With Directional Adhesion (2008, background): “To adhere to rough surfaces, an additional layer of conformability is usually required, which is why highperformance adhesive tapes for realtively rough surfaces often have a backing layer of soft foam [27].”
