The post structure ACNT film showed discrete pillar composed of carbon nanotubes, these pillar formed microstructure in the film, which affected both the contact angle and the sliding angle.展开更多

Relatively smaller sliding angles indicate that the butterfly wing surface has fine self-cleaning property.Significantly different SAs in various directions indicate the anisotropic self-cleaning property of butterfly wing surface.The SAs on the butterfly wing surface without scales are remarkably larger than those with scales,which proves the crucial role of scales in determining the self-cleaning property.Butterfly wing surface is a template for design and fabrication ofbiomimetic materials and self-cleaning substrates.This work may offer insights into how to design directional self-cleaning coatings and anisotropic wetting surface.展开更多

It is shown that at sliding angles of incidence of a particle on the boundary of the media, the transition radiation is mainly determined by the properties of the surface layer. The possibility of using transition radiation to study the surface of substances is discussed. In addition, due to the hard radiation present in space, this research may be important for the use of light monoatomic layers as a material for satellite antennas, “solar sails” and cover layers in a future space (interstellar) mission.展开更多
