This work describes a water surface mobile robot utilising surface tension forces. Recent biological studies on water striders revealed how they stay afloat and move on the surface of water. By using their hairy legs coated with hydrophobic substance produced, they increase the water repellency and float by the surface tension. This work focuses on understanding the static and dynamic interactions...
Control over the wettability of solids and manufacturing of surfaces with special hydrophobic and self- cleaning properties have aroused great interest because of their significance for a vast range of applications in daily life, industry and agriculture. Hierarchical structures with a cone-like shape and features in both the micro- and the nano-scales are produced. By varying the laser pulse fluence...
