Colocasia Esculenta Leaf Detail
Bildnummer 11673070
| Scanning electron micrograph of leaf detail of the superhydrophobic plant Colocasia esculenta. When water drops onto the leaf of the plant,rather than wetting the surface and spreading out into a fine film,it breaks up into glistening spherical beads that run off back to the ground,emulating the behaviour of metallic mercury which has come to be known as the 'Lotus effect'. By looking at the natural world around us at the nanometre scale we are picking up a few tips from nature including one or two about self-cleaning surfaces. This micrograph is detail of the lower surface which was found to comprise an undulating terrain of 'frosted' papilla cells. These papilla cells show a coating of thin waxy platelets of a natural wax identified as 1-Octacosanol a long carbon chain alcohol which possesses the property of superhydrophobicity.
