Inspired by the superhydrophobic lotus surface in nature, special wettability has attracted a lot of interest and attention in both academia and industry. In this review, theoretical models …
So far, scientists have successfully mimicked superhydrophobicity based on careful observation and study of such surfaces found in nature. The key outcome is the fact that …
Superhydrophobic surfaces are actively studied across a wide range of applications and industries, and are now finding increased use in the biomedical arena as substrates to …
