Determination of the Young's modulus of the epicuticle of the smooth adhesive organs of Carausius morosus using tensile testing
Adhesive organs like arolia of insects allow these animals to climb on different substrates by creating high adhesion forces. According to the Dahlquist criterion, adhesive organs must be very soft, exhibiting an effective Young's modulus of below 100 kPa to adhere well to substrates. Such a lo...
