Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Nature exhibits superhydrophobic surfaces with self-cleaning and anti-icing properties.
  • These surfaces, found on lotus leaves and insect wings, utilize low surface energy materials and hierarchical structures.
  • Hierarchical topography minimizes water droplet contact area, increasing air/water interface and achieving high contact angles (>150º).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review natural superhydrophobic surfaces and their wettability theories.
  • To explore biomedical applications of superhydrophobic surfaces.
  • To describe fabrication techniques for mimicking natural superhydrophobic surfaces.

Main Methods:

  • Review of natural superhydrophobic surface examples.
