Rate-Dependent Shear Debonding of Hydrogels from Rigid Substrates via Noncovalent Adhesion: Simulations and Experiments

Shear debonding behavior of PAA hydrogel adhesion with PC strip at different loading speed and uniaxial tensile test for PAA hydrogels across a range of loading speeds.Fig. 5. Rate-dependent shear debonding response of NHP with unbonded length across a range of loading rates.Fig. 6.

Comparison of numerically predicted and experimentally measured key mechanical responses of NHP in shear debonding tests.Fig. 7. Measured and predicted force–displacement behaviors of NHPs are compared for different unbonded length at two applied loading speeds.Fig. 8. (a) Peak force and (b) fracture displacement as functions of loading rate at various bonded lengths.Fig. 9.
