2. BoPET - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoPET

   Metallized boPET film, 32 layers of ~14 μm thickness each. BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, [1] chemical stability, [1] dimensional stability, [2] transparency [1] reflectivity, and electrical insulation.

3. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

   Adhesives may be broadly divided in two classes: structural and pressure-sensitive. To form a permanent bond, structural adhesives harden via processes such as evaporation of solvent (for example, white glue), reaction with UV radiation (as in dental adhesives), chemical reaction (such as two part epoxy), or cooling (as in hot melt).

4. Arthropod adhesion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod_adhesion

   Smooth adhesive pads are found in arboreal possums, which are marsupials that glide between trees. [1] The possum is also capable of using smooth adhesive pads to climb vertically, making use of large toe pads. [1] The pads consist of an epidermal layer of stratified squamous epithelium, with the outer most layer's cells being flattened. [1]

5. Synthetic setae - Wikipedia

   The two front feet of a tokay gecko can withstand 20.1 N of force parallel to the surface with 227 mm 2 of pad area, [4] a force as much as 40 times the gecko's weight. . Scientists have been investigating the secret of this extraordinary adhesion ever since the 19th century, and at least seven possible mechanisms for gecko adhesion have been discussed over the past 17

6. Sticky pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_pad

   Sticky pads are friction devices used to prevent objects from sliding on a surface, by effectively increasing the friction between the object and the surface.. Sticky pads are used to fix items to otherwise smooth surface that are leaned or that moves, so that objects put on that surface could off due to insufficient friction when the surface inclines or moves.
