In this study, we discovered that gecko setae stick more strongly the faster they slide, and do not wear out after 30 000 cycles. This is surprising because friction between dry, hard, macroscopic materials typically decreases at the onset of sliding, and as velocity increases, friction continues to decrease because of a reduction in the number of interfacial contacts, due in part to wear. Gecko setae did not exhibit the decrease in adhesion or friction characteristic of a transition from static to kinetic contact mechanics. Instead, friction and adhesion forces increased at the onset of sliding and continued to increase with shear speed from 500 nm s\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    to 158 mm s\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    . To explain how apparently fluid-like, wear-free dynamic friction and adhesion occur macroscopically in a dry, hard solid, we proposed a model based on a population of nanoscopic stick\u2013slip events. In the model, contact elements are either in static contact or in the process of slipping to a new static contact. If stick\u2013slip events are uncorrelated, the model further predicted that contact forces should increase to a critical velocity (\n                    <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic>\n                    *) and then decrease at velocities greater than\n                    <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic>\n                    *. We hypothesized that, like natural gecko setae, but unlike any conventional adhesive, gecko-like synthetic adhesives (GSAs) could adhere while sliding. To test the generality of our results and the validity of our model, we fabricated a GSA using a hard silicone polymer. While sliding, the GSA exhibited steady-state adhesion and velocity dependence similar to that of gecko setae. Observations at the interface indicated that macroscopically smooth sliding of the GSA emerged from randomly occurring stick\u2013slip events in the population of flexible fibrils, confirming our model predictions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1098\/rsif.2009.0133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,3]],"date-time":"2009-06-03T20:25:01Z","timestamp":1244060701000},"page":"259-269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1098\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":106,"title":["Rate-dependent frictional adhesion in natural and synthetic gecko setae"],"prefix":"10.1098","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Nick","family":"Gravish","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Lewis &amp; Clark College, Portland, OR, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matt","family":"Wilkinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Lewis &amp; Clark College, Portland, OR, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Sponberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aaron","family":"Parness","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noe","family":"Esparza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Soto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tetsuo","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire PPMD, ESPCI-CNRS-UPMC, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Broide","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Lewis &amp; Clark College, Portland, OR, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Cutkosky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Costantino","family":"Creton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kellar","family":"Autumn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Lewis &amp; Clark College, Portland, OR, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"175","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0040-8166(03)00050-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","volume-title":"Historia animalium","author":"Aristotle 350 BCE","year":"1918"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1534701100"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-31049-5_12"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00359-006-0149-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/35015073"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.192252799"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1117\/12.606157"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.02486"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.01980"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.02469"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_1","first-page":"58","volume-title":"Proc. 30th Annu.
