Special Wetting Behaviors on Canna Leaf and its Dependence with Microstructures

Abstract:

Like lotus leaf and rose petal, the canna leaf also has excellent super hydrophobicity.The purpose of this paper is to systematically study the super hydrophilicity of canna leaf. Using SEM to observe the morphology of the canna leaf, and analytical balance to measure the adhensive force between water droplet and the leaf . This paper shows that the first type of the canna leaf which has co-exsitence of the nanocrumb and micro-scale convex cells has the high contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis similar to lotus leaf. The another type on the leaf has high contact angle but high adhesion in a certain extent like the rose petal effect, whose microstructure unitarily simple has the micro convex cells, do not distributed anything of nanoscale.
