Abstract
We review the bioinspiration and biomimetism, for which wetting properties are involved. Nature is able to capture or repel liquids such as water, following the needs. The most famous example of water repellency is the Lotus leaves, but numerous other species are also able to capture water. On the contrary, springtails are able to repel low-surface-tension liquids, while pitcher plants are able to capture prey.
期刊介绍:
ACS Nano, published monthly, serves as an international forum for comprehensive articles on nanoscience and nanotechnology research at the intersections of chemistry, biology, materials science, physics, and engineering. The journal fosters communication among scientists in these communities, facilitating collaboration, new research opportunities, and advancements through discoveries. ACS Nano covers synthesis, assembly, characterization, theory, and simulation of nanostructures, nanobiotechnology, nanofabrication, methods and tools for nanoscience and nanotechnology, and self- and directed-assembly. Alongside original research articles, it offers thorough reviews, perspectives on cutting-edge research, and discussions envisioning the future of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
