We use mechano-responsive polymers to elucidate adhesion. In gecko-inspired micropillar adhesives, for instance, a significant impact of the pillar contact geometry on the adhesion was found. Fundamental differences in their contact stress distributions were predicted by theory. We applied a mechano-responsive polyelectrolyte brush to determine the contact stress distributions of the micropillars. The mechano-response is based on the quenching of a labeled dye so that local tensile and compressive stresses affect the local fluorescence intensity. It was read out with high spatial resolution utilizing confocal laser scanning microscopy.
