N1  - From the Contents: Modeling of Contact Angle for a Liquid in Contact with a Rough Surface -- Part I: Lotus Effect -- Lotus Effect Surfaces in Nature -- How to Make Hierarchical Surfaces. Part II: Rose Petal Effect. Part III: Shark Skin Effect -- Shark-Skin Surfaces for Fluid-Drag Reduction in Turbulent Flow -- Fabrication and Characterization of Biomimetic Structures for Fluid Drag Reduction
N2  - This book presents an overview of the general field of biomimetics - lessons from nature. It presents various examples of biomimetics, including roughness-induced superomniphobic surfaces which provide functionality of commercial interest. The major focus in the book is on lotus effect, rose petal effect, shark skin effect, and gecko adhesion.  For each example, the book first presents characterization of an object to understand how a natural object provides functionality, followed by modeling and then fabrication of structures in the lab using nature’s route to verify one’s understanding of nature and provide guidance for development of optimum structures. Once it is understood how nature does it, examples of fabrication of optimum structures using smart materials and fabrication techniques, are presented. Examples of nature inspired objects are also presented throughout
