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.”
Micro-, nano- and hierarchical structures for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning and low adhesion (2009, background): “Nosonovsky & Bhushan (2007a–d, 2008a–d) demonstrated that a combination of micro- and nanoroughness (multiscale roughness) with convex surfaces can help to resist destabilization by pinning the interface.”
Multi-Scale Surface Texturing in Tribology—Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives (2019, methodology): “Dependent on the respective instrument and magnification used to measure the surface topography, different geometric features become visible ranging from nanometer- to millimeter-scale [8].”
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).”
