Inspired by the pads on the leg fingers of the frogs, Indian scientists are created super glue that can be used over again.
The team of Abhijit Majumder from Indian technological institute in Kanpur was copied the mechanism through which the tree frogs sticks on the surfaces. In result the scientists invented a sticking plaster which can be used over again. When the standard sticking plasters get unstuck, in the glue appear rifts and the stick in dust prevents the sticking plaster to stick again.
The scientists discovered that the frogs have miniature canals on their pads. And exactly they increase the coherence with the surface, and when the animals detach from the ground these canals are obstacles for the rifts came bigger.
The inventors made elastic layers where under the sticking layer have others full with air and fluids. In result the stickiness is increased 30 times and the sticking plasters can be used over again.
