Taro-Leaf Inspired Patterning of Oleophobic Surfaces with High Wear Resistance

The lotus and taro leaf surfaces are superhydrophobic. We fabricated different surface patterns of lotus and taro leaves on Si surfaces and compared their contact angles and tribological properties. Three types of lotus patterns, consisting of a simple dot matrix of circular pillars with different p...
