Superhydrophobicity: 3D‐Printed Biomimetic Super‐Hydrophobic Structure for Microdroplet Manipulation and Oil/Water Separation (Adv. Mater. 9/2018)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1704912, Yong Chen and co-workers demonstrate a biomimetic superhydrophobic microstructure inspired by the Salvinia molesta leaf using the immersed surface accumulation 3D-printing process. The controllable adhesive force can be easily tuned with a different number of eggbeater arms. The 3D-printed eggbeater structures have numerous applications including as microhands for droplet manipulation and microreactors, and for 3D cell culture, oil-spill clean-up, and oil/water separation.
