“…These biological organisms can always maintain vigorous vitality by the self-growth process even if they are damaged by external forces. Among them, the special superwetting surfaces such as the self-cleaning effect of lotus leaves, the directional sliding of rice leaves, the water-walking capability of water striders, and the directional adhesion of butterfly wings have allured continuous attentions for researchers. − The cutting edge in development of artificial superhydrophobic surfaces is first inspired by the lotus leaf . Due to the dual action of hierarchical micro/nanostructures and low-surface-energy wax materials, the water droplets display ultrahigh contact angle and ultralow sliding angle on the surface of the lotus leaf. , On the basis of the excellent liquid-repellent property, artificial superhydrophobic surfaces are extremely attractive in the fields of self-cleaning, anti-fouling, and heat transfer. − For example, the water droplet on the superhydrophobic surface can stay nearly in a spherical state with high mobility and minimal droplet adhesion and thus can easily remove dirt particles and other contaminants sitting on the sample surface and also effectively enhance condensation performance. , However, one of the major problems of the artificial superhydrophobic surface in practical applications is the poor durability. , For instance, the hierarchical micro/nanostructures of the artificial superhydrophobic surfaces are easily damaged by mechanical actions, thus resulting in the permanent loss of surface superhydrophobicity. , …”
