报告内容摘要：
Many plants exhibit remarkable water repellency owing to their rough surface. The textured surface traps air underneath water drops and the air cushioning gives rise to the superhydrophobicity. However, biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces generally do not retain water repellency when exposed to a condensing environment. Water condensate proceeding from nanoscale nuclei tends to penetrate into the surface texture and displace the trapped air, forfeiting the superhydrophobicity.
In this talk, we will show that lotus leaves use two complementary strategies to achieve antidew superhydrophobicity. For condensate drops that are order of 100 um or smaller, drop coalescence triggers a self-propelled jumping motion which removes the sticky condensate along the pathway. [Boreyko and Chen (2009), Phys. Rev. Lett., 103, 174502.] For drops that are order of 1 mm or larger, lotus leaves harvest energy from ambient vibrations to overcome the adhesion between the sticky condensate and the rough surface. [Boreyko and Chen (2009), Phys. Rev. Lett., 103, 184501.]
Time permitting, we will briefly introduce the graduate program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University.
