Bioinspired Green Composite Lotus Fibers
Abstract
Owing to the growing global environmental problems, demands for environmentally friendly, fully biodegradable sustainable composites have substantially increased across various industries. Inspired by the composite structure of cocoon silk, we fabricated a fully green composite fiber (GCF) that is based on the lotus fiber (LF) and a biodegradable polymer, namely poly(vinyl alcohol) (...

Why a Lotus-like Superhydrophobic Surface Is Self-Cleaning? An Explanation from Surface Force Measurements and Analysis
关键字：Superhydrophobic Surface, Lotus effect, force
The unique self-cleaning
feature of lotus-like superhydrophobic
(SH) surface attracted world-wide interests in recent years. However, the
mechanism of the self-cleaning phenomena remains unclear. Here, we attempt to provide
a comprehensive understanding of why self-cleaning of the particles with a
broad range of size can be realized on the lotus-like SH surfaces. After
measurements and analysis of...

[Chem. Commun.] A lotus-inspired janus hybrid film enabled by interfacial self-assembly and in situ asymmetric modification
A lotus leaf inspired Janus hybrid film was exquisitely fabricated through a self-assembly process at the air/water interface with subsequent in situ asymmetric modification at the oil/water interface. The interfacial asymmetric decoration strategy thus provides a novel pathway for achieving a 2D Janus hybrid film with asymmetric wettability and functionality.

(Appl. Phys. Lett.) In situ investigation on dynamic suspending of microdroplet on lotus leaf and gradient of wettable micro- and nanostructure from water condensation.
Dynamic suspending behavior of microdroplet on fresh lotus leaf is in situ investigated at microand nanolevels, by water condensation via environmental scanning electronic microscopy. The observation and analysis reveal that a gradient of wettable micro- and nanostructure is formed along the exterior surface of papilla including nanohairs during water condensation. This gradient introduces a tende...

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. "A Lotus-Leaf-like Superhydrophobic Surface: A Porous Microsphere/Nanofiber Composite Film Prepared by Electrohydrodynamics" 2004, 43, 4338. (Newsworthy)
A hierarchical micro/nanostructure and low surface energy result in superhydrophobicity in a polystyrene film prepared by the electrohydrodynamics method. The composite film consists of porous microspheres, which contribute to superhydrophobicity by increasing the surface roughness, and interwoven nanofibers, which reinforce the film. A water droplet resides on the film with a contact angle of abo...
