  1. Thunder Lecture III

  2. Shanghai Institute for Advanced Studies Fudan University 04.04.2006 Nano-Bionik Micro- and Nanotechnology in Nature Ingo Rechenberg

  3. Bionics Biomimicry Biomimetics What is Bionik ? The study of the results of biological evolution from the engineering point of view from the engineering point of view Learning from nature‘s way of engineering

  4. Bacteria flagellum Micro&nano-structured biological surfaces Biological selfassembly Protein machines Biological receptors Muscle filaments Nano-Bionik

  5. The topics The Lotus-Flower-Effect: Self-cleaning property through hydrophobic micro-dots. The Moth-Eye-Effect: The art to be invisible through optical nano-burls. The Gecko-Foot-Effect:Sticking on the wall through elastic nano-hairs. The Sand-Skink-Effect:Reduction of friction and wear through nano-thresholds. The Darkling-Beetle-Effect:Collecting dew through hydrophilic/hydrophobic micro-spots. The Shark-Scale-Effect:Turbulence reduction through longitudinal micro-grooves. The Water Strider-Effect: To keep dry through micro-hairs with nano-ridges.

  6. Nano-spikes Nano-thresholds Nano-grooves Nano-humps Nano-burls Nano-bumps Nano-ladders Nano-ribs Nano-knobs Nano-patterns in nature ? ?

  7. The sacred Lotus flower is a symbol of purity in Asian religions. The Lotus-Flower-Effect

  8. Honey rolls down from a “Lotus-Effect-spoon” The Lotus-Effect® Water droplets roll down the leaf of the Lotus flower Glue rolls down the leaf of the Lotus flower A droplet takes up the dirt while rolling down

  9. 30μm Microrelief of the leave The development of the Lotus-Effect® paint Bionik-product Self cleaning

  10. Lotusan facade paint Standard facade paint Test areas at the wall of my house after 4 years

  11. Adhesion > Cohesion Adhesion < Cohesion Surface tension and wetting angle Adhesion << Cohesion

  12. smooth surface Lotus-Effect® surface The Lotus-Effect in action

  13. Lotus-Effect® roof tile Lotus-Effect® tie Prof. Wilhelm Barthlott

  15. Water droplet Water droplet The Lotus-Effect extended

  16. The Moth-Eye-Effect

  17. 130 x 420 x 1050 x 4120 x Micro-burls 100nmØ Micro-optics of the moth eye

  18. < l light Air Optical transparent layer Reflection of the light is avoided by a continuously increasing refractive index of the optical medium Glass Deception of the light The little burls on the surface of the optical medium work as a gentle increase of the refractive index

  19. All the light is captured by th eye Moonlight is not mirrored (predatory!) Night-flying insect

  20. Invisible Jelly Fish

  21. Technological imitation of the nanostructure of a moth eye. Periodicity of the burls: 300 nm. Glass pane with Moth-Eye-Effect

  22. The Moth-Eye-Effect
