Bhushan Authors “Biomimetics – Bioinspired Hierarchical-Structured Surfaces for Green Science and Technology” Published by Springer

The second edition of a book authored by Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Professor Bharat Bhushan has been published by Springer.  Bhushan is an Ohio Eminent Scholar, the Howard D. Winbigler Professor, Director of the Nanoprobe Laboratory for Bio & Nanotechnology and Biomimetics, and Affiliated Faculty Member at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University. 

The revised, updated and expanded new edition presents an overview of biomimetics and biologically inspired structured surfaces.  It deals with various examples of biomimetics which include surfaces with roughness-induced superomniphobicity, self-cleaning, antifouling and controlled adhesion.

The focus of the book is on the Lotus Effect, Salvinia Effect, Rose Petal Effect, Oleophobic/philic Surfaces, Shark Skin Effect and Gecko Adhesion.  This new edition also contains new chapters on the butterfly wing effect, bio and inorganic fouling and structure and Properties of Nacre and structural coloration.
