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.”
Superhydrophobic surfaces for the reduction of bacterial adhesion (2013, unknown): “Superhydrophobic surfaces are also believed to have other functionalities such as water repellence, broadband anti-reflection, 43,44 anti-icing, 45–47 drag-reduction in fluid flow, 48,49 non-adhesive property 50 and wetting control.”
Natural and biomimetic artificial surfaces for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, low adhesion, and drag reduction (2011, methodology): “In the analysis of the evaporation data of micropatterned surfaces, Nosonovsky and Bhushan [158] found several effects specific for the multiscale character of this process.”
