2. Nano tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano_tape

   Nano tape, also called gecko tape is a synthetic adhesive tape consisting of arrays of carbon nanotubes transferred onto a backing material of flexible polymer tape. These arrays are called synthetic setae and mimic the nanostructures found on the toes of a gecko ; this is an example of biomimicry .

9. Cotton duck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_duck

   Duck fabric is woven with two yarns together in the warp and a single yarn in the weft. By treating with wax, duck fabric can be made waterproof (see waxed cotton). Cotton duck strips were the origin of duck tape, recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899 [3] (see duct tape).
