Abstract
Biomimic super-hydrophobic surface has been considered as a new research field in mimicing biological systems with chemistry. The super-hydrophobic phenomena of lotus etc. give such model of preparations of biomimic super-hydrophobic surfaces on many substrates. The studies on super-hydrophobic properties and micro-structures of lotus and the research progress in biomimicing of super-hydrophobic surface are reviewed. The author's opinions with respect to the future development of this research field are proposed.
