Rose petal effect: A subtle combination of nano‐scale roughness and chemical variability

Abstract Rose petals may involve high water contact angles together with drop adhesion which are antagonistic wetting properties. Petal surfaces have a cuticle which is generally considered a continuous, hydrophobic lipid coating. The peculiar properties of rose petals are not fully understood and h...
