Ces edupack 2014 crack6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() According to the microscope results obtained, the demolding process, which is the riskiest step of the replication process, was successfully passed thanks to soft casting. Contact angles were tested to examine the wettability properties of the surfaces. Surface topographies of the replicated final products were analyzed by optical and stereo microscopes. These structures are replicated from two commercial products with different pillar lengths and different pillar shapes, mushroom and conical needle tips. In this study, inspired by the structures of lotus leaf and rose petal, using the soft casting method with dental bio-polymer materials, structures with pillar dimensions of micron (µm) and millimeter (mm) were produced. Especially the unique wettability properties of the lotus leaf and rose petal. The interest shown in biomimetic surfaces, inspired by multi-scale structures found in many plants and animals, is increasing day by day. Biomimetic is the name of the approach that seeks sustainable solutions to the problems, taking the perfect functioning of nature for millions of years.
