In article number 1904282, Jin Woong Kim, Sang‐Yup Lee, and co‐workers report a Boston ivy disc‐inspired biomimetic strategy that enables fabrication of pressure‐mediated adhesive film patches. They demonstrate that such adhesive patches are able to structurally and chemically mimic the tendril disc of a mature Boston ivy, thus opening up a new type of biomimetic material system based on the botanical synergetic interplays characterized by improved biological adhesion performance.
