Abstract

This paper has studied the lotus effect of the biomimetic engineering that is inspired from the nature. The biomimetic engineering has been improved with the nanotechnology. This paper has observed the hydrophobic property of the surface of the lotus leaf by using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The nano-scale of the hydrophobic lotus leaves are maximized the surface tension of water. The general grass leaf has been compared with the lotus leaf through the SEM and AFM - in the viewpoint of the 2D and 3D morphology. Also, The pre-existing of the hydrophobic theory was investigated and compared with the experimental observations for the lotus leaf.

본 논문에서는 자연에서 영감을 얻은 생체 모방 공학 중의 하나인 연잎 효과에 초점을 맞추었다. 생체 모방 공학은 자연의 시스템을 관찰하여 동식물, 곤충 등의 구조와 기능을 모방하여 공학적으로 활용하는 것이다. 나노 기술의 발전은 생체 모방 공학의 발전도 함께 일으켜왔다. 본 과제에서는 연잎 표면의 소수성과 특징에 대해 살펴본 뒤 나노 측정 장비인 SEM (주사선전자 현미경)과 AFM (원자력간 현미경)을 이용하여 측정 후 비교, 분석하였다. 연잎의 표면에는 수많은 나노 돌기들이 존재하며, 그 작은 돌기들이 소수성을 갖게 하고 표면장력을 극대화 시키는 역할을 한다. 연잎의 표면에서는 물방울이 동그랗게 모여 있는 것을 볼 수 있는데 그것을 연잎 효과라고 하며, 나노 돌기로부터 생성된 효과이다. 이러한 연잎의 표면을 배율 별로 2D와 3D로 측정하여 분석하였다. 또한, 그 결과를 기존의 법칙들에 어떻게 적용되는지 살펴보았으며 나아가 소수성을 판별할 수 있는 새로운 방법에 대해 논의하여 보고자 하였다.
