AB  - Recent research in the field of gecko-inspired dry adhesive has focused on 
      modifying the material and structural properties of polymer-based nanohairs. 
      Polymers such as polystyrene (PS), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), ultraviolet 
      curable epoxy (SU-8), polyurethane acrylate (PUA), polycarbonate (PC), and 
      polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) can fulfill many mechanical property requirements, 
      are easily tunable, and can be produced via large-scale fabrication. However, the 
      fabrication process for tilted structure remains challenging. The tilted 
      structure is a crucial factor in high-degree conformal contact, which facilitates 
      high adhesion, low effective modulus, and directional adhesion properties. Recent 
      studies have attempted to create a tilted structure by applying beam irradiation, 
      mechanical and thermal stress, and magnetic fields. This review provides a 
      comprehensive investigation into advanced strategies for producing tilted 
      polymeric nanostructures and their potential applications in the near future.
