As the load cell could be moved in horizontal and vertical directions using translation stages, it was positioned so that the epoxy on the tip of the screw comes close to the epoxy adherent below it. The upper epoxy dome was melted with a heat gun, which was quickly brought into contact with the domed disc below it. As the upper epoxy dome cooled down, it formed a strong bond with the domed epoxy disc below it. The load cell is connected to a motorized vertical that allowed measurement of the pull-off force at different speeds. The force was measured by the load cell (sensor) digitally using an Arduino module. The mechanism of release was observed using optical microscopes equipped with a CCD video camera. The self-explanatory schematic of the optical path to observe the adhesive interface is shown in Figure A.
