“…Beeswax as a coating is noted for its ability to preserve food freshness and quality by providing a physical barrier against moisture loss, oxidation, and bacterial contamination [ 116 ]. In this regard, beeswax-based coatings offer great potential to reduce food loss, such as in pears [ 120 ], mandarins [ 192 ], tomatoes [ 193 , 194 ], mangoes [ 121 ], guavas [ 116 ], citrus fruits [ 195 ], and in industrialized products such as cheeses and meat sausages [ 115 ]. These beeswax-based coatings act as a protective layer on the surface of fruits and vegetables, preserving their freshness and quality by minimizing moisture loss, oxidation, and bacterial contamination [ 117 ].…”

“…All these use rough surfaces to trap air pockets. In the air, the layered roughness combined with the surface’s hydrophobic wax provides a stable and durable air-filled repellent layer for the lotus leaf [ 284 , 285 ]. The air layer can also be preserved or replenished during the transition from the air to the water environment [ 283 ].…”

Energy losses due to various tribological phenomena pose a significant challenge to sustainable development. These energy losses also contribute toward increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Various attempts have been made to reduce energy consumption through the use of various surface engineering solutions. The bioinspired surfaces can provide a sustainable solution to address these tribological challenges by minimizing friction and wear. The current study majorly focuses on the recent advancements in the tribological behavior of bioinspired surfaces and bio-inspired materials. The miniaturization of technological devices has increased the need to understand micro- and nano-scale tribological behavior, which could significantly reduce energy wastage and material degradation. Integrating advanced research methods is crucial in developing new aspects of structures and characteristics of biological materials. Depending upon the interaction of the species with the surrounding, the present study is divided into segments depicting the tribological behavior of the biological surfaces inspired by animals and plants. The mimicking of bio-inspired surfaces resulted in significant noise, friction, and drag reduction, promoting the development of anti-wear and anti-adhesion surfaces. Along with the reduction in friction through the bioinspired surface, a few studies providing evidence for the enhancement in the frictional properties were also depicted.

“…Considering the characteristics of the lotus leaf and the bionic means of scientists, it has a rich and broad application prospect in production and life (Table 2). One of the more common is the application of lotus leaf in the medical field (Lim et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2014c;Wu et al, 2021b;Huang et al, 2022). Klicova et al, (2022) developed a biocompatible nanofiber pad with anti-adhesion surface by imitating the nanostructure on the lotus leaf by using needlefree electrospraying and polycaprolactone electrospinning technology, which not only shortens the operation time but also greatly reduces the postoperative risk.…”

Nature is the source of human design inspiration. In order to adapt to the environment better, creatures in nature have formed various morphological structures during billions of years of evolution, among which the superhydrophobic characteristics of some animal and plant surface structures have attracted wide attention. At present, the preparation methods of bionic superhydrophobic surface based on the microstructure of animal and plant body surface include vapor deposition, etching modification, sol-gel method, template method, electrostatic spinning method and electrostatic spraying method, etc., which have been used in medical care, military industry, shipping, textile and other fields. Based on nature, this paper expounds the development history of superhydrophobic principle, summarizes the structure and wettability of superhydrophobic surfaces in nature, and introduces the characteristics differences and applications of different superhydrophobic surfaces in detail. Finally, the challenge of bionic superhydrophobic surface is discussed, and the future development direction of this field is prospected.
