Micropillar‐Engineered Hybrid Adhesive Patch for Surface‐Conformable and Directional Adhesion
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This work presents a surface‐conformable hybrid adhesive integrating height‐optimized hexagonal micropillars with open‐rectangular cuts. The micropillars enhance rough‐surface contact and microscale crack arrest, while the cuts guide and reverse interfacial cracks for strong and directional adhesion. The multiscale architecture achieves robust pull‐off
