Tribological bioinspired interfaces for 3D printing

Developing surfaces with special wettability inspired by biological surfaces has rapidly inspired these field of energy, environment and medical etc. Bioinspired makes natural surfaces have unique wetting characteristics. Immersed surface accumulation-based 3D printing to manufacture the microstructure of the superhydrophobic eggbeater with bionic structure. Due to its high degree of design freedom and excellent manufacturing flexibility, additive manufacturing is increasingly indispensable in surface and interface applications. This review additive manufacturing in applying droplet interface developed unique interfacial materials with particularly adaptable wettability, such as super anti-wetting surfaces (superhydrophobic and superoleophobic), innovative switchable surfaces, and water-collecting surfaces, by creating inspiration from natural surfaces and established a dedicated 3D printing material database to realize the development and screening of intelligent materials.
