Inner surface of Nepenthes slippery zone: ratchet effect of lunate cells causes anisotropic superhydrophobicity
Inner surface of Nepenthes slippery zone shows anisotropic superhydrophobic wettability. Here, we investigate what factors cause the anisotropy via sliding angle measurement, morphology/structure observation and model analysis. Static contact angle of ultrapure-water droplet exhibits the value of 15...
