Abstract
A reusable, liner-free attachment system is described herein. The attachment system is compatible with the surfaces of a variety of materials, regardless of composition or physical characteristics. The system contains an anchoring site and a detachable article that binds specifically to the anchoring site. When bound together, the system provides anisotropic resistance to applied forces. The system is highly resistant to shear stress, but is easily detached by applying a pull-off force. The article typically contains a part A coating on the side or portion of the article that attaches to the anchoring site. The system can be used with a variety of articles, such as hooks, carpet tiles, medical devices, such as blood pressure cuff; climbing equipment, such as gloves, shoes or handles.
