Combining biomimetic principles from the lotus leaf and mussel adhesive: polystyrene films with superhydrophobic and adhesive layers

Lotus leaves are well known for their extremely water repellent surfaces. Marine mussels are also a popular research topic when considering biological adhesives. Both organisms have inspired the development of several biomimetic materials. Herein we describe a two-sided film made almost entirely fro...
