| Abstract | Bio-inspired functional surfaces attract many research interests due to the promising applications. In this paper, tunable adhesion of a bio-inspired micropillar arrayed surface actuated by a magnetic field is investigated theoretically in order to disclose the mechanical mechanism of changeable adhesion and the influencing factors. Each polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micropillar reinforced by uniformly distributed magnetic particles is assumed to be a cantilever beam. The beam's large elastic deformation is obtained under an externally magnetic field. Specially, the rotation angle of the pillar's end is predicted, which shows an essential effect on the changeable adhesion of the micropillar arrayed surface. The larger the strength of the applied magnetic field, the larger the rotation angle of the pillar's end will be, yielding a decreasing adhesion force of the micropillar arrayed surface. The difference of adhesion force tuned by the applied magnetic field can be a few orders of magnitude, which leads to controllable adhesion of such a micropillar arrayed surface. Influences of each pillar's cross section shape, size, intervals between neighboring pillars, and the distribution pattern on the adhesion force are further analyzed. The theoretical predictions are qualitatively well consistent with the experimental measurements. The present theoretical results should be helpful not only for the understanding of mechanical mechanism of tunable adhesion of micropillar arrayed surface under a magnetic field but also for further precise and optimal design of such an adhesion-controllable bio-inspired surface in future practical applications. |
