Fabrication of artificial Lotus leaves and significance of hierarchical structure for superhydrophobicity and low adhesion
Abstract
The superhydrophobic and self-cleaning leaves of Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera, Gaertn.) have been used as a model for the development of artificial biomimetic surfaces. The hierarchical structure of the Lotus leaf has been recreated to characterize the influence of hierarchical roughness on superhydrophobicity and adhesion. Hierarchical structures were fabricated by a fast and precise molding of the Lotus leaf microstructure, and self-assembly of the natural Lotus wax deposited by thermal evaporation to create the wax tubules nanostructures. Tubule formation was initiated by exposure of the specimens to a solvent vapor phase at a selected temperature. In order to study the influence of structures at different scale sizes on superhydrophobicity, a flat surface, microstructured Lotus leaf replica and a micropatterned Si replica, and a nanostructure were fabricated. Static contact angle, contact angle hysteresis, tilt angle and adhesive forces were measured. The data show that microstructures and nanostructures lead to superhydrophobicity, whereas hierarchical structures further improve this property and show low contact angle hysteresis, superior to that of the natural Lotus leaves.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
