Book Description
Materials with superhydrophobic or related properties are one of the most studied subjects from a theoretical point of view and also for the large range of possible applications, for example, anticorrosion, antibacteria, optical devices, and sensors. The study of natural species with special wettability has shown us the importance of surface structures and the surface energy of the resulting surface properties. Various strategies can be used to reproduce superhydrophobic phenomena in the laboratory. General reviews on superhydrophobic properties already exist but, to our knowledge, do not focus on metallic and inorganic materials. Here, we focus especially on the strategies implemented for reaching superhydrophobic or related properties using metallic and inorganic materials. Indeed, these materials present unique properties, for example, thermal and mechanical resistance, chemical and ageing resistance, and optical (transparency, antireflection, photoluminescence) and electrical properties (conducting, semiconducting, insulating). This book will be useful for graduate students of materials chemistry and physics and for researchers in surface science, nanostructures, and bioinspired or biomimetic materials.

Book Description
Inspired by superhydrophobic leaves of water plants, a flexible superhydrophobic self-cleaning, transparent thin polymeric nanofur film was fabricated through highly scalable hot embossing and hot pulling techniques. Nanofur can retain an air film underwater, whose stability against external stimuli such as high pressure and movement through fluids is investigated. Additionally, the optical properties of nanofur are investigated and exploited to enhance the efficiency of optoelectronic devices.

Book Description
Materials for Conservation: Organic Consolidants, Adhesives and Coatings provides an overview of one aspect of materials conservation treatment, particularly the properties of organic consolidants, adhesives, and coatings. The contents of the book are divided into two parts; these parts are background information and survey of polymers. The coverage of the first part includes polymer science and the uses and requirements of applied polymers. The second part covers resins, vinyl, thermoplastics, fillers, and colorants. The text will be most useful to individuals involved in the management and conservation of historic materials, such as museum curators. Materials engineer and polymer chemists will also benefit from the book.

Book Description
This book highlights the functions and models of biological surfaces with unique wettability and elucidates the methods to realize bioinspired surfaces. It discusses the theory and mechanism of fabrication that will help researchers to understand the nature of functional surfaces and to design them better for various applications. A model can be extracted from biological surfaces, such as lotus leaf, spider silk, butterfly wing, and beetle back, and learning from these natural biological features has gained more attention in recent years. The purpose of this learning is to develop new functional materials related to the research areas of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science, such as some promising applications for micro-fluidic devices and functional textiles as well as corrosion resistance, liquid transportation, antifogging, and water-collecting engineering systems. The book is a good resource for researchers, engineers, scientists, and also students and general readers with innovative ideas for designing novel materials for future scientific works.
