Recent Developments in Artificial Super-Wettable Surfaces Based on Bioinspired Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications

Abstract: Inspired by nature, significant research efforts have been made to discover the diverse range of biomaterials for various biomedical applications such as drug development, disease diagnosis, biomedical testing, therapy, etc. Polymers as bioinspired materials with extreme wettable properties, such as superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces, have received considerable interest in the past due to their multiple applications in anti-fogging, anti-icing, self-cleaning, oil–water separation, biosensing, and e… Show more

“…Hence, DLRI coupled with PE‐CVD enables the forming of nanocomposite thin film at room temperature (Figure S10 , Supporting Information). [ 77 ] The resulting DLC‐ZnO thin films exhibit hydrophobic and water‐repellent properties without microtexturation and high mechanical resistance, [ 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ] (see Figure S11 , Supporting Information, and the full movie reported as Movie S2 in the Supporting Information). This makes their application as antifog, antifouling, or antiicing coatings possible.…”

“…Wettability decreases the adhesion and increases the repellency of the various liquids with respect to the lubricant. Material surface engineering enables a wide range of expanding biomedical applications, from antifouling medical devices to high-throughput cell culture platforms. , Shao developed a bio-inspired template for the hanging drop method with a hydrogel-confined pattern layer over the butterfly wings to culture 3D spheroids . Biomaterials and devices tend to cause infections and inflammation due to bacterial adhesion on the surface of the device.…”
