Novel bioinspired micro-/nano-interface materials with controlling of micro-fluid transport

Biological surfaces endow a multi-gradient collaborative effect from nano-/micro-levels for people, displaying the unique ability to control the dynamic wettability and fluid transport. Based on the multi-gradient mechanism, we designed various kinds of bioinspired or biomimetic structures, and developed the new technology and methods. We introduced the bioinspired concept into the fabrication of materials. By being used the universal polymers, response polymer, organic-inorganic composite materials, the novel bioinspired micro-interface/nano-interface materials in one-or two-dimensions can be controllably fabricated. These novel bioinspired materials display excellent fluid-controlling functions from micro-/nano-levels and macro-level, e.g., driving of droplet, water collection and anti-icing functions, which will bring important application prospect and reference value to micro-fluidics, fresh water acquirement, fog-water engineering, energy transform, dust filter and so on.
