1. A dry adhesive comprising:
a non-woven fabric of overlapping electrospun nanofibers comprising a polymeric material, the nanofibers comprising an average diameter within a range of from 50 nm to 10000 nm, and the non-woven fabric of nanofibers having a sheet-like form and 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, and
wherein, at least 70 percent of the nanofibers are substantially aligned.
