Research on Micro and Nano Structure and Wettability for Water Strider’S Leg, Abdomen, Back and Wing

Abstract:

This paper studied wettability of water strider’s typical part, contact angle of water strider’s leg, abdomen, back and wing was measured by the contact angle measuring instrumen, which were 161.5°,156.3°,157.6°and 156.4°respectively, they showed superhydrophobic. Microstructure of water strider’s leg, abdomen, back and wing was observed through scanning electron microscopy, It found that 4 typical parts of water strider are composite structure of micron scale and nano-scale, although their forms is different, they have reached the super-hydrophobic effect.
