Plant-Based Sustainable Self-Cleaners in Nanotechnology Era: From Mechanism to Assembling -- 3. Self-Cleaning Surfaces of Polyurethanes -- 4. A Self-Cleaning Approach Utilizing Metal Oxide Thin Films and Nanocomposites -- 5. Plasma Based Approaches to Achieve Self-Cleaning Surfaces -- 6. Nanomachining.This book examines a new field of nature-mimicked nanotechnology and chemical manipulation, focusing on the mechanisms, principles, and manufacturing of self-cleaning surfaces and describing how these materials can be created for scalable production. Self-cleaning ability on the topmost surfaces of materials increases a product's value for applications in microfluidics, lap-on-chip, microreactors, air purification, and more. An easy way to obtain self-cleaning properties is by creating superhydrophobic surfaces so water droplets can roll down, picking up dirt particles on the way. This book provides a comprehensive overview of self-cleaning properties in nanotechnology. It includes six chapters that address such topics as the fabrication and applications of biomimetic superhydrophobic materials, self-cleaning surfaces of different plants, self-cleaning polyurethane surfaces, self-cleaning approaches using plasma, and laser technology for superhydrophobic self-cleaning applications.NanotechnologyNanotechnologySafety measuresNanotechnology.NanotechnologySafety measures.620.5Pham Phuong V.1367708NjHacINjHacIBOOK9910765545703321Nature-inspired self-cleaning surfaces in the nantoechnolgy era4030415UNINA
