Patterns for flow control and bioadhesion control

An article includes a path that extends across at least a portion of a surface of the article, the path being defined by at least one channel that traverses at least a portion of the surface or a first plurality of spaced features disposed on or in at least a portion of the surface. The first plural...

Zusammenfassung:	An article includes a path that extends across at least a portion of a surface of the article, the path being defined by at least one channel that traverses at least a portion of the surface or a first plurality of spaced features disposed on or in at least a portion of the surface. The first plurality of spaced features are arranged in a plurality of groupings. The groupings of features comprise repeat units, where the spaced features within a grouping are spaced apart at an average distance of about 1 nanometer to about 500 micrometers to define a path that traverses the plurality of spaced features.
