“…Biomimetic dental implants can be achieved by modifying the surface of an implant material [51]. Surface properties such as surface roughness are important factors governing the success of dental implants [52], and it is the intrinsically nanostructured surface features of the cicada [53][54][55], dragonfly [56,57], shark skin [57,58], gecko feet [21], taro [59][60][61], and lotus leaves [62,63] that are able to impart self-cleaning and antibacterial capabilities to dental implants [19]. Biomimetic dental implants have many advantages over ordinary implants; for example, modified surfaces or functionalized biomimetic dental implants can help increase antimicrobial action [19] by adding a functional group with antimicrobial properties [51].…”

Dental implants are used broadly in dental clinics as the most natural-looking restoration option for replacing missing or highly diseased teeth. However, dental implant failure is a crucial issue for diabetic patients in need of dentition restoration, particularly when a lack of osseointegration and immunoregulatory incompetency occur during the healing phase, resulting in infection and fibrous encapsulation. Bio-inspired or biomimetic materials, which can mimic the characteristics of natural elements, are being investigated for use in the implant industry. This review discusses different biomimetic dental implants in terms of structural changes that enable antibacterial properties, drug delivery, immunomodulation, and osseointegration. We subsequently summarize the modification of dental implants for diabetes patients utilizing carbon nanomaterials, which have been recently found to improve the characteristics of biomimetic dental implants, including through antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capabilities, and by offering drug delivery properties that are essential for the success of dental implants.

“…One of the most explored mechanisms of superhydrophobicity existing in nature is the "lotus-leaf effect". A surface can be named as superhydrophobic when its contact angle (CA) is greater than 150 • and the sliding angle is lower than 10 • [11,12]. This phenomenon observed on the lotus leaf is strictly dependent on micro/nanostructures on its surface covered with hydrophobic wax [6].…”

“…The lotus effect is one of the many examples of superhydrophobic surfaces existing in nature. The other ones worth mentioning are petal roses, cicada wings, rice leaves and the water striders [11,12,15]. The list of potential application of such surfaces includes: self-cleaning, quick-drying, anti-fouling surfaces and coatings on different materials [16][17][18][19][20].…”

The article presents validation argumentation of the novel method of evaluating resistance to surface wetting with different liquids of protective materials intended for polymer protective gloves based on the three parameters: water permeability index, non-wettability index and absorption index. Using our own method of evaluating resistance to surface wetting, it was shown that the knurled structure of the palm part of polymer protective gloves may inhibit transport of harmful and hazardous liquids outside the area of the protective glove. Currently, there is lack of objectifying methods for evaluation of surface wettability focused on the mentioned aspects. In view of the above facts, an original method for evaluating the resistance of protective materials to surface wetting with mineral oils and water has been invented and validated. It was assumed that the non-wettability index will be subjected to metrological analysis. Consequently, the validation process refers to this index. A precise assessment of the uncertainty budget of the individual components was obtained. On the basis of the obtained results, the measurement errors that may affect the quality and reliability of the test result performed in the laboratory were identified.

“…Since the lotus effect was investigated in depth by , superhydrophobic surfaces have received much attention. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The lotus effect is a phenomenon whereby the surface of a lotus leaf repels water to form spherical droplets and the contaminating particles on it can be removed with the droplets. 1,2 This effect is related to the wettability of solid surfaces.…”
