The invention discloses a cross-scale biomimetic micro-nano
branch structure array and a preparation method thereof, which relate to the field of micro-nano materials and robots, particularly relate to a biomimetic
adhesive material and a preparation method thereof and also relate to an electrochemical
anodic oxidation process. The cross-scale biomimetic micro-nano
branch structure array consists of a substrate and a micro-nano multilevel
branch structure array, wherein the micro-nano multilevel
branch structure array at least comprises a primary micron cylindrical structure array and a branch micro-nano cylindrical structure array. The preparation method thereof comprises the following steps of: firstly,
etching an aluminum template with an
argon ion beam to obtain an aluminum template with a primary micron hole array; secondly, preparing a micro-nano
branch structure array in a definite point and direction on the template array by an electrochemical
anodic oxidation process; thirdly, performing film
extrusion and curing on the template by a
polymer replica method; and finally, removing the template for forming to obtain the desired micro-nano structure array to form a biomimetic dry
adhesive material. The cross-scale biomimetic micro-nano
branch structure array and the preparation method thereof use electric characteristics to effectively solve the control problem of from micron to nanometer cross-scale branch structure arrays and have a great significance for the development of biomimetic
adhesive materials and related dry biomimetic robots.
