Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic plant surfaces: an inspiration for biomimetic materials (2009, unknown): “In future, superhydrophobic air-retaining surfaces, which reduce drag during movement in water, might be a smart solution for energy-saving surfaces, such as the walls of pipes or boats (Nosonovsky & Bhushan 2008b).”
Natural and biomimetic artificial surfaces for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, low adhesion, and drag reduction (2011, methodology): “The contact angle depends on several factors, such as surface energy, surface roughness, and its cleanliness [2,92,15,17,21,157].”
Mimicking natural superhydrophobic surfaces and grasping the wetting process: a review on recent progress in preparing superhydrophobic surfaces. (2011, background): “This additional energy caused by the higher energy is called surface or interface free energy and measured in the energy per area units, that is, in the SI system, J/m(2) [70].”
Biomimetics: lessons from nature–an overview (2009, background): “This hierarchical micro- and nanostructuring on the leg’s surface seems to be responsible for its water resistance (Nosonovsky & Bhushan 2008a,b) and the strong supporting force.”
