Multivariate coupling mechanism of superhydrophobicity on NOCTUIDAE moth wing surface

Research carried out by Key Laboratory for Terrain Machine Bionics Engineering of Ministry of Education, Jilin University in Changchun, China, has shown that the co-coupling effect of scale biomaterial, micron-class shape and nanometer-class structure of vertical gibbosities of scale can induce surface hydrophobicity and self-cleaning function of the moth wing.
