A comprehensive and systematic treatment that focuses on surfaces and interfaces phenomena
inhabited in biomimetic superhydrophobic materials offering new fundamentals and novel
insights. As such this new book covers the natural surfaces fundamentals fabrication methods
and exciting applications of superhydrophobic materials with particular attention paid to the
smart surfaces that can show switchable and reversible water wettability under external stimuli
such as pH temperature light solvents and electric fields. It also includes recent
theoretical advances of superhydrophobic surfaces with regard to the wetting process and some
promising breakthroughs to promote this theory. As a result materials scientists physicists
physical chemists chemical engineers and biochemists will benefit greatly from a deeper
understanding of this topic.
