Plastron properties of a superhydrophobic surface [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2006 Most insects and spiders drown when submerged during flooding or tidal inundation, but some are able to survive and others can remain submerged indefinitely without harm. Many achieve this by natural adaptations to their surface morphology to trap films of air, creating plastrons which fix the water-vapor interface and provide an incompressible oxygen ...

Plastron representation with target zones.
, 2019 Grey shaded areas represent the zones in which the targets could appear. The scenario only defined a target’s appearance zone, and the target appeared randomly in this zone. Plastron dimensions were computed with regard to the average height of a fencer.

Fluids, 2023 Drag reduction (DR) using superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) has received intensive interest due to the emergence of SH coating technology. The air layer (plastron “δ”) trapped between the SHS and the water controls the flow slip over the SHSs.

Self-Powered Plastron Preservation and One-Step Molding of Semiactive Superhydrophobic Surfaces. [PDF]
, 2020 Gas-trapping-typically superhydrophobic (SHPo)-surfaces are useful for underwater applications only while their plastron lasts. Because the plastron unfortunately disappears under most practical conditions, various active approaches to supply ample gas ...

Controlled transport of captive bubbles on plastrons
Soft Matter, 2015 Captive bubbles that reside on superhydrophobic surfaces with plastrons move uncontrollably when tilted. A system based on creating moveable local apexes on flexible superhydrophobic foils is shown to allow controlled transport. Simulations done reveal that specific bubble transport speeds are needed to form concentration gradients suited for aerotaxis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...
