The understanding of the functions provided by n guide us to imitate and produce nanomaterials, nanodevices, and of objects (bacteria, plants, land and aquatic animals, seashells etc.) Self- Cleaning Surfaces ng, low adhesion, and drag reduction surfaces n various commercial applications. These include transportation vehicles pplications [3]. To reduce pressure drop and volume loss in luidics, it is desirable to minimize the drag force at the solid liquid phobicity, self-cleaning and low adhesion is the leaves of water-repellent 2,4-11]. The leaf surface is very rough due to so-called papillose icroasperities. In addition to the microscale roughness, the surface of the erities composed of three-dimensional epicuticular waxes which are c. The waxes on lotus leaves exist as tubules [10,11]. Water droplets on dily sit on the apex of the nanostructures because air bubbles fill the (Figure 1a). Therefore, these leaves exhibit considerable and contact angle hysteresis of a lotus leaf are about 164 and 3, n the leaves remove any contaminant particles from their surfaces when nd show low adhesive force [14-16]. Wetting is a multiscale phenomenon Lotus leaf Rose petal Lotus effect [12], and (b) scale structure of shark reducing drag [21]., and drag reduction surfaces nd self-cleaning is provided by fish which are known to be well protected gh they are wetted by water [15,17]. Fish scales have a hierarchical with diameters of 4 5 mm covered by papillae 100 300 µm in length and is a model from nature for a low drag surface, is covered by very small denticles (little skin teeth), ribbed with longitudinal grooves (aligned ater) (Figure 1b). These grooved scales reduce vortice formation

DYNAMIC SURFACES In the last years, several new wetting states have been experimentally observed. For a hierarchical surface, there can exist nine modes of wetting depending on whether water penetrates in micro and nanostructures. Rose petal effect has a very promising wetting state for different applications, such as microdroplet transport and localized chemical reactions.

DYNAMIC SURFACES Dynamic effects on a superhydrophobic surface analyse energy barriers responsible of wetting transitions. These transitions are directly from a composite to a homogeneous state. Lotus state External stimuli Wenzel state Hierarchical surfaces open the pathway for intermediate transitions, which can be useful if one can get a precise control over them.
