Artificial silver ragwort surface

Abstract: Creatures adapted to environmental conditions in a variety of ways, on the macroscopic as well as the microscopic scale. The evolved structures always give a hint about the design of functional materials. Recently, inspired by the trichomes on the surface of silver ragwort, we fabricated a surface with superhydrophobicity and light-shielding simultaneously by simply transforming polystyrene to the trichomeslike structure.

“…Therefore, authors utilized electrospinning to increase the roughness of polystyrene substrates, usually creating two-level micro/nanostructures. Several authors 62,63,67,70,74 studied the influence of electrospinning parameters on the surface roughness and hydrophobicity of the resulting webs. In addition, some papers discussed the effect of additives, like nanoparticles, 76,86 ionic liquid 75 and polyaniline (PANI), 71 blended with a solution before electrospinning.…”

“…32 There are also methods based on the combination of both bottom-up and top-down approaches, for example, casting of polymer solution and phase separation, 33 and electrospinning. 34 Among these methods, the application using two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals, "natural lithography", which has been suggested by Deckman and Dunsmuir, 35 has attracted attention due to it being a relatively easy process in comparison with conventional lithography. 35 Based on such a process, uniformly sized microstructures could be produced on a substrate using a monolayer coating of colloidal spheres instead of a conventional resist.…”
