The artificial construction of nature‐mimic inorganic–organic heterostructures is an emerging technological interest for protective surface applications. Mimicking the spikiness of sea urchin spicules for their protective function, here, the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanometer‐scale spicules grown from micrometer‐scale polylactic acid (PLA) beads and fibers as super‐hydrophilic and bactericidal...
Superhydrophilicity
In article number 2100844, Jungbae Kim, Young Keun Kim, and co‐workers present an inorganic‐organic heterostructure (IOH) mimicking the shape of sea urchin, which consists of zinc oxide nano‐spicules and polylactic acid microfibers and microbeads. The sea urchin‐like topography of the IOH induces superhydrophilicity that effectively enhances the bactericidal activity of both gram‐positive...
