Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, University of Akron, Engineering.
The increasing demand for repositionable adhesive materials has developed a big interest among the scientific and industrial community, electrospun nanofibers has been introduced to the adhesion world as a new material that can provide repositionable dry adhesion. Adhesion tests were carried to the material, and it was found a unique combination in the adhesive properties presenting a shear adhesion of 29.44 N/cm2 and a peel strength of 0.06 and 0.01 N/cm2 for 90° and 180° angles respectively. It was found that the morphology of the electrospun nanofibers and the porosity of the fiber membrane has an important role into the delamination process along with the interaction between the electrospun fibers and the surface morphology of the substrate. This research work aims to study how this novel adhesive material delaminates and the factors involved in the delamination process.
