Citations in the corpus

• Biomimetics: lessons from nature–an overview (2009, background): “Within the floating water ferns of the genus Salvinia, morphologically different kinds of water-repellent (superhydrophobic) hairs exist (Koch et al. 2009).”
• Inspiration from the natural world: from bio-adhesives to bio-inspired adhesives (2014, background): “The discovery of nanoparticles and nanofibers is not surprising, since micro- and nanostructures are known to have a great influence on adhesion at interfaces, as previously discussed [123].”
