Bioinspired Material Surfaces

By Yongmei Zheng

This book highlights the functions and models of biological surfaces with unique characteristics, elucidating methods to realize bioinspired surfaces. It offers the theory and mechanism of fabrication, functioning to help researchers understand nature in order to design better, more functional surfaces for widespread applications. Using models extracted from biological surfaces, such as lotus leaves, spider silk, butterfly wings, and beetle backs, principles of surface design are discussed to enable promising applications such as micro-fluidic devices, functional textiles, corrosion resistance, liquid transportation, anti-fogging and anti-water-collection. The book offers researchers and students with innovative ideas for designing novel materials.
