Abstract: Abstract The divergences in superwettability between lotus leaves and rose petals result from minute differences in their morphological features. The fabrication of these hierarchical structures with unique wetting behaviors is fascinating but challenging. In this… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Mimicking the superwetting behaviors of nature creatures is advantageous for the development of multifunctional surfaces. Superhydrophobic surfaces are desired for applications such as self-cleaning, drag reduction, anti-staining, anti-corrosion, oil-water separation, etc. Herein, a superefficient… read more here.
