Research Abstract & Technology Focus

Directional liquid transport has been widely observed in various species including cacti, spiders, lizards, the pitcher plant
Nepenthes alata
, and
Araucaria
leaves. However, in all these examples the liquid transport for a specific liquid is completely restricted in a fixed direction. We demonstrate that
Crassula muscosa
shoot surfaces have the ability to transport a specific liquid unidirectionally in either direction. This is accomplished through the presence of asymmetric reentrant leaves with varying reentrant angles, which yields the variation in liquid meniscus heterogeneity. These findings enable engineered biomimetic structures capable of selective directional liquid transport, with functions such as intelligent flow direction switching, liquid distribution, and mixing.
