The study documents why material stiffening does not monotonically enhance shear adhesion.
PNAS published peer-reviewed research on July 22, 2026, examining why shear adhesion is not monotonically enhanced by stiffening. The study analyzes the physical mechanics governing how stiffening affects adhesion under shear stress.
The journal released the paper at 07:00 UTC with the digital object identifier 10.1073/pnas.2610914123. PNAS indexed the report following peer review to document the non-monotonic relationship between structural rigidity and adhesive performance.
The official citation record lists the research under DOI 10.1073/pnas.2610914123 within the publication's July 2026 archive.
