Influence of Cuticle Nanostructuring on the Wetting Behaviour/States on Cicada Wings
The nanoscale protrusions of different morphologies on wing surfaces of four cicada species were examined under an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The water contact angles (CAs) of the wing surfaces were measured along with droplet adhesion values using a high-sensitivity microele...
