Figure 9 (A) Hierarchical superhydrophobic surface (platelets on a micro-pillar) [ [27] ] and (B) replicated surface of lotus leaf [ [28] ].
Micro-notches need to be fabricated on test specimens to replicate surface defects for experimental determination of fatigue life studies.
These replicated surfaces were hydrophobic and showed μ values 3.5-4 times lower than that of silicon surfaces.
Figure 8 Confocal microscope images: (A -(C) replicated surfaces of real leaves of lotus, colocasia and colocasia (dry), respectively.
Surface topology measurements of the microtextured aluminum reveal microtexture height near 12 μm, with slightly smaller microtexture height on the replicated surfaces.
Water contact angle on replicated protuberances increased from 91° to 156° when the nanotextured layer was added to the replicated surfaces [28].
It was reported that the nano-scale surface texture on the protuberances, which played an important role in increasing the hydrophobicity was not useful in lowering the friction coefficient of the replicated surfaces any further [28].
In conjunction with these attributes, confocal microscope images of the replicated surfaces demonstrate that in a given nominal area, not all asperities within the area have uniform height (Figure 8).
the replicated surfaces were more durable than their nano-scale counterparts (nano-patterns, Figure 2C [13]), at microscale. Figure 7 (A) Real lotus leaf surface and (B - D) replicated surfaces of real leaves of lotus, colocasia and colocasia (dry), respectively [ [25], [26] ].
However, two distinct and remarkable features of the replicated surfaces come into play in lowering the contact area, leading to lower μ values: (i) the distance between adjacent asperities is on a larger scale when compared to that of the nano-patterns and (ii) only those asperities that are high enough come in contact with the counter surface.
