Researchers at the University of Freiburg, University of Pittsburgh, and University of Akron in the US have found that the adhering soft materials’ surface roughness is what causes this adhesion hysteresis.

  Adhesive tape or sticky notes are easy to apply to surfaces, but can be difficult to remove. This phenomenon, known as adhesion hysteresis, is primarily observed in soft and elastic materials. Adhesive contacts are more easily formed than broken. Researchers from the University of Freiburg, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Akron […]
