Claim 14:
15. A dry adhesive comprising:
a non-woven fabric of randomly oriented electrospun nanofibers comprising a polymeric material, the non-woven fabric of nanofibers comprising a thickness within a range of from 0.1 μm to 100 μm;
wherein, the dry adhesive is removable and reusable, and has a shear adhesion strength when applied to a glass slide that is higher than a normal adhesion strength of the dry adhesive when applied to the glass slide, the normal adhesion strength being the adhesive strength measured in a direction that is generally perpendicular with a surface of the non-woven fabric applied to the glass slide.
