Article Title: Influence of substrate modulus on gecko adhesion

doi: 10.1038/srep43647

Figure Lengend Snippet: Contact angle (n = 5), hardness (on Shore A scale, n = 10), calculated composite modulus, and measured surface modulus of each substrate (n = 6).

Article Snippet: The control PDMS substrate (the 1000 μm substrate) was provided by Sharklet Technologies, Inc (Aurora, CO), and is the same substrate used in Stark et al . . All substrates were supported on 0.25 inch thick glass sheets.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a–c) Time-series images of three representative GFP-expressing cells on mPADs, stimulated with BSA (10 μg/mL) or VEGF (50 ng/mL) immediately after t = 0 min. The corresponding colorimetric map of the strain energy on each micropost is shown next to each image of the cell. The time-series plot of total strain energy for each representative cell is shown below the respective images. Scale bars are 30 μm.

Article Snippet: Elastomeric micropost array substrates (mPADs) were fabricated via polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS; Sylgard 184, Dow-Corning, Midland, MI)-based replica-molding as previously described 38 .
