Method of making one or more fibrils, computer implemented method of simulating an adhesive force of one or more fibrils and fibril

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of making one or more fibrils, the method comprising the steps of providing a material of manufacture of the one or more fibrils; providing a random initial shape of the one or more fibrils, with each fibril of the one or more fibrils comprising several surfaces; calculating an adhesive force of the one or more fibrils based on the material of manufacture of the one or more fibrils and on the provided random initial shape of the one or more fibrils, i.e. of their several surfaces; adapting, in particular iteratively adapting, the random initial shape of the one or more fibrils to vary the adhesive force of the one or more fibrils to form resultant shapes of the one or more fibrils and determining the corresponding adhesive force of each resultant shape of the one or more fibrils; selecting the resultant shape of the one or more fibrils having the highest adhesive force of the one or more fibrils; and producing one or more fibrils having the selected resultant shape having the highest adhesive force of the one or more fibrils. The invention further relates to a computer implemented method of simulating an adhesive force of one or more fibrils and to a fibril.
