Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1906886, Blaise L. Tardy, Hirotaka Ejima, Orlando J. Rojas, and co‐workers describe the controlled organization of strong polymeric colloids into outstanding biomimetic adhesives with multiscaled architectures. While the adhesive possesses the attributes of conventional structural adhesives, with strength comparable to those commercially available, a direction‐dependent adhesive strength diverging by more than 70‐fold is reported.
