Publication: Debonding of a soft adhesive fibril in contact with an elastomeric pillar

We study in this article, published in Soft Matter, the debonding of a soft adhesive layer from a micrometric pillar. We uncover power laws as a function of the pillar diameter for the maximum force and the critical elongation of the fibril of adhesive material formed during debonding.
