Biomimetics

Beschreibung

This revised, updated and expanded new edition presents an overview of biomimetics and biologically inspired structured surfaces. It deals with various examples of biomimetics which include surfaces with roughness-induced superomniphobicity, self-cleaning, antifouling, and controlled adhesion. The focus in the book is on the Lotus Effect, Salvinia Effect, Rose Petal Effect, Oleophobic/philic Surfaces, Shark Skin Effect, and Gecko Adhesion. This new edition also contains new chapters on the butterfly wing effect, bio- and inorganic fouling and structure and Properties of Nacre and structural coloration.

“Biomimetics: Bioinspired Hierarchical-Structured Surfaces for Green Science and Technology presents researchers and students alike with an extensive array of hierarchical structures that exist in nature, with particular attention to structures with useful wetting properties. … the book is a nice introduction to biomimetics. Its many references will aid researchers who want to learn more about the field … . Biomimetics is a well-written compendium that will serve a need in the ever-growing field of biomimicry.” (Mohan Srinivasarao, Physics Today, Vol. 70 (9), September, 2017)
