The plant cuticle is the first physical barrier between land plants and their terrestrial
environment. It consists of the polyester scaffold cutin embedded and sealed with organic …

Nature has developed materials, objects and processes that function from the macroscale to
the nanoscale. These have gone through evolution over 3.8 Gyr. The emerging field of …

Biological surfaces provide multifunctional interfaces to their environment. More than 400
million years of land plants evolution led to a large diversity of functional biological surface …

The diversity of plant surface structures, evolved over 460 million years, has led to a large
variety of highly adapted functional structures. The plant cuticle provides structural and …

This review paper presents the diversity of plant surface structures from a single cell to multi-
cellular surface sculptures. There is still no comprehensive book which provides an …

Although they lack muscle, plants have evolved a remarkable range of mechanisms to
create motion, from the slow growth of shoots to the rapid snapping of carnivorous plants …

Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) accelerates the failure of metal in a marine
environment. In this research, slippery lubricant-infused porous surface (SLIPS) was …

Carnivorous plants consume animals for mineral nutrients that enhance growth and
reproduction in nutrient-poor environments. Here, we report that Triantha occidentalis …
