Mechanical and Superhydrophobic Stabilities of Two-Scale Surfacial Structure of Lotus Leaves

To understand why lotus leaf surfaces have a two-scale structure, we explore in this paper two stability mechanisms. One is the stability of the Cassie-Baxter wetting mode that generates the superhydrophobicity. A recent quantitative study (Zheng et al., Langmuir 2005, 21, 12207) showed that the lar...
