Abstract:

Bio-inspired surfaces with special wettability have attracted much attention because of their promising applications in daily life and industrial applications. Recently, several bio-inspired intelligent surfaces with special wettability were designed and constructed by modifying chemical compositions and surface roughness. By use of various techniques, researchers were succeeded in controlling micro/nanostructures, responsive materials, and surface wettability, consequently bridging the gap between intelligent surfaces with special wettability and practical applications.

Key words: Superhydrophobic; Superhydrophilic; Bio-inspired; Smart; Responsive surface
