Billions of years of evolution have endowed the biological world with exquisite functionalities.Learning from nature not only satisfies our innate curiosity for understanding the world,but also provides important insights to drive a paradigm shift in technology.Historically,many leaps in human civilization are propelled by drawing clues from nature,from the invention of the aircraft to the Shinkansen train,and from the development of nacre-inspired super strong materials to medical robotics.In this talk,I will mainly focus on the development of bio-inspired interfacial materials that mimic the innate functionalities of natural surfaces.I will first discuss how to achieve enhanced droplet mobility(bouncing,jumping and rolling)by controlling the structural topography,surface chemistry and external physical stimuli(temperature,electrical field,etc.).Emphasis will be put on how to sustain droplet mobility in demanding phase change environments for a wide range of applications such as thermal management and antiicing.
