Abstract

Bionic interfaces have received much attention owing to their attractive hydrophobic and tribological potential. Although a great deal of research has been carried out on biomimetic nanostructures, the basic theory, experimental application, and related techniques of hydrophobicity of biomimetic nanostructures, as well as the relationship between the state of lubricants and friction in tribology have not been fully explored. In this review, based on a brief discussion of the theory of hydrophobicity, the role of two-dimensional bionic structures in the wet state is introduced, and the wetting mechanism and applications are discussed. Then, the synergistic effects and mechanisms of bionic weaving and lubricants in the dry/wet friction state are investigated. In addition, the contribution of bionic structures to the fields of hydrophobicity and tribology further deepens the knowledge and enriches the practical applications of bionic surface weaving.
