Bioinspired Design of Materials Surfaces reviews novel methods and
technologies used to design surfaces and materials for smart
material and device applications. The author discusses how
materials wettability can be impacted by the fabrication of micro-
and nanostructures, anisotropic structures, gradient structures,
and heterogeneous patterned structures on the surfaces of
materials. The design of these structures was inspired by nature,
including lotus, cactus, beetle back and butterfly wings, spider
silk, and shells. The author reviews the various wettability
functions that can result from these designs, such as
self-cleaning, directional adhesion, droplet driving,
anti-adhesion, non-wetting, liquid repellent properties, liquid
separation, liquid splitting, and more. This book presents a key
reference on how to fabricate bioinspired structures on materials
for desired functions of materials wettability. It also discusses
challenges, opportunities and many potential applications, such as
oil-water separation devices, water harvesting devices and photonic
device applications.
