Fabrication and Analysis of Bio-Inspired Smart Surfaces - Michael Röhrig Kartoniert (TB)

This work introduces novel techniques for the fabrication of bio-inspired hierarchical micro- and nanostructures. The enormous potential of these techniques is demonstrated by presenting a synthetic gecko-like adhesive matching the adhesion and self-cleaning of geckos very closely and a nanofur which is superhydrophobic superoleophilic underwater air-retaining and even self-healing when surface treated.
