Adhesion of elastomeric surfaces structured with micro-dimples

•A mechanism to fabricate custom-tailored elastomeric adhesive systems is proposed.•The mechanism relies on dimple arrays having different dimple surface coverage and depth.•Suction phenomena are generated inside the dimples upon deformation.•Varying the dimple depth allow to tune the adhesion respo...
