Multiscale Dissipative Mechanisms and Hierarchical Surfaces Friction, Superhydrophobicity, and Biomimetics

Multiscale Dissipative Mechanisms and Hierarchical Surfaces Friction, Superhydrophobicity, and Biomimetics / by Michael Nosonovsky, Bharat Bhushan.

Multiscale Dissipative Mechanisms and Hierarchical Surfaces covers the rapidly developing topics of hierarchical surfaces, roughness-induced superhydrophobicity and biomimetic surfaces. The research in these topics has been progressing rapidly in the recent years due to the advances in the nanoscien...
