Abstract
A structure (140) for adhering to a surface so as to support a desired weight includes a substrate (110) and a polymer layer (120). The polymer layer (120) is mounted on the substrate (110). A plurality of flaps (142) are drawn from the polymer layer (120). Each of the plurality of flaps (142) have dimensions and a density so that when the plurality of flaps (142) are placed against the surface (400) and when a coherent shear force is applied thereto, the plurality of flaps (142) will adhere to the surface (400) with a strength sufficient to support the desired weight. Each of the plurality of flaps (142) includes a first side (210) and an opposite second side (212). At least one of the first side or the second side is meniscus shaped.
