Abstract
A device with a microstructure arrangement for gripping low coefficient of friction material which may include a set of microfeatures disposed on a substrate. The microfeatures may provide a physical property of a grip force exceeding a grip force theoretically achieved by friction theory alone. The microfeatures may provide a grip force in excess of 50.0 N. The microstructure arrangement may include a gripping surface with a contact area of 25% or less of the total macroscopic area of the device.
Claims19
A microstructured device for gripping low coefficient of friction material comprising:
- a substrate, the substrate further comprising a gripping surface, the gripping surface comprising a first microstructure and a second microstructure, wherein the first microstructure and second microstructure comprise protuberances or voids, the protuberances or the voids being arranged to generate a Wenzel-Cassie state when in contact with a target surface.
