Capillary phenomena
Interfacial and capillary phenomena are present in multiple biological processes. Some examples are duck's feathers impermeability, spiders’ sticky traps, and Lotus leaf's effect. The last subject is considered in a separate chapter due to its important technological applications. The basi...

The basis to understand all those processes is the focus of the present chapter, divided into three subsections.

Interfacial and capillary phenomena are present in multiple biological processes. Some examples are duck's feathers impermeability, spiders’ sticky traps, and Lotus leaf's effect.
