Abstract

This paper discusses the anti-fouling principle of lotus surfaces in nature and applies it to the production of anti-fouling surfaces, providing information and ideas for the research and application of anti-fouling. We discuss various fouling (Biofouling, Icefouling, Precipitation Fouling, Dust fouling, and Chemical Reaction Fouling) and their anti-fouling solution. Currently, no single engineered surface can solve the solid fouling problem extensively, so this paper mainly reviews various complex micro or macro structures and coatings that play a role in different fouling.

Keywords:

bio-inspired surfaces, anti-fouling, contact angle, self-cleaning
