Bio-Inspired Engineering at the Spectrum of “Tribology”

EasyChair Preprint 11846

Abstract

Self-cleaning mechanism of lotus leaves or “Lotus Effect” is a hydrophobic effect against adsorption of environmental water molecules on exposed surface. The low surface energy and surface tension of bio-inspired surface are useful in designing and manufacturing of functional coatings. The science, technology, and industrial revolution eased non-stick functional Teflon coatings up to cookware due to much lower free surface energy and surface tension (~18.0 mN/m) than dynamic water molecules, steels, aluminium, and anodised materials.

Keyphrases: Environmental reactions, Surface engineering, Tribology, bionic, thermodynamics
