Researchers have investigated the inner structure of soft adhesive materials during the debonding process. Tape, self-adhesive labels, Post-it notes and masking tape all contain soft adhesives. This makes them easy to remove -- a process referred to as debonding. French scientists have studied how soft adhesives work in the hope of facilitating the design of more efficient adhesives.
