Plastron respiration using commercial fabrics [PDF]

, 2014
A variety of insect and arachnid species are able to remain submerged in water indefinitely using plastron respiration. A plastron is a surface-retained film of air produced by surface morphology that acts as an oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange surface ...

A Facile, Fast, and Low-Cost Method for Fabrication of Micro/Nano-Textured Superhydrophobic Surfaces [PDF]

, 2020
Background Alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) is frequently used in paper industry as an inexpensive sizing agent. The formation of a fractal structure after curing the solidified AKD for an extra-long time (4 - 6 days) results in superhydrophobicity.
