Superhydrophobic surfaces (water contact angles higher than 150 can only be achieved by a combination of hydrophobicity (low surface energy materials) with appropriate surface texture. In nature one can find an array of impressive and elegant examples of superhydrophobic surfaces. For example, on a ...

Superhydrophobic surfaces are often found on plant leaves and insect wings in nature. Water on these surfaces forms small beads with a high contact angle of greater than 150掳 and drips off rapidly when the surfaces are slightly inclined. This interesting phenomenon has stimulated extensive research...
superhydrophobic surfaces in nature, including the leaf surfaces or skins, always play an important role in the survival of plants and animals. However, in contrast, the research of artificially fabricated biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces still remains at an initial stage in laboratory. To date, ...
Inspired from nature, which reveals excellent superhydrophobicity, researchers have recently developed and implemented biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces in a variety of smart and simple ways. Superhydrophobicity is an effect where surface roughness and chemical composition combine to generate unusual water ...

but nature doesn’t have this option. Nevertheless there are a few examples of omniphobic surfaces in nature, such as the collembola or springtail – a small wingless soil-dwelling insect. ‘The animal is exposed to highly contaminated [water] with surface active substances, so in consequence ...
Extreme liquid repellence is well known in nature and has been the focus of many scientific investigations and technical developments in recent decades. The interest for extremely water-repellent surfaces rapidly increased after the report on the lotus effect in 1997 [1]. The term superhydrophobicity...
Recently, there are a lot of studies on the engineering application of biomimetic functional surface in the world. The nature-inspired functional surfaces offer many solutions for copying with problems which are faced with human such as environmental contamination, energy depletion, exhaustion of water...
