Water-repellent legs of water striders Water striders (Gerris remigis) have remarkable non-wetting legs that enable them to stand effortlessly and move quickly on water, a feature believed to be due to a surface-tension effect caused by secreted wax1–3.We show here, however, that it is the special hierarchical structure of the legs, which are covered by large numbers of oriented tiny hairs (microsetae) with fine nanogrooves, that is more important in inducing this water resistance. We used a high-sensitivity balance system to construct force–displacement curves for a water strider’s legs when pressing on the water surface (for methods, see supplementary information). Surprisingly, the leg does not pierce the water surface until a dimple of 4.380.02 mm depth is formed (Fig. 1a). The maximal supporting force of a single leg is 152 dynes (see supplementary information), or about 15 times the total body weight of the insect. The corresponding volume of water ejected is roughly 300 times that of the leg itself, indicating that its surface is strikingly water repellent. For comparison,we made a hydrophobic ‘leg’ from a smooth quartz fibre that was similar in shape and size to a strider’s leg. Its surface was modified by a self-assembling monolayer of low-surface-energy heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane (FAS-17), which makes a contact angle of 109° with a water droplet on a flat surface4. Water supports the artificial leg with a maximal force of only 19.05 dynes (see supplementary information), which is enough to support the strider at rest but not to enable it to glide or dart around rapidly on the surface. This finding suggests that the force exerted by the strider’s legs could be due to a ‘superhydrophobic’ effect (that is, the contact angle with water would be greater than 150°).We verified that this was indeed the case by sessile water-drop measurements, which showed that that the contact angle of the insect’s legs with water was 167.64.4° (Fig.1a,inset). The contact angle of water made with the cuticle wax secreted on a strider’s leg is about 105° (ref. 5), which is not enough to account for its marked water repellence.Knowing that microstructures on an object with low surface energy can enhance its hydrophobicity6, we investigated the physical features of the legs. Scanning electronic micrographs revealed numerous oriented setae on the legs.These are needle-shaped, with diameters ranging from 3 micrometres down to several hundred nanometres (Fig. 1b).Most setae are roughly 50 m in length and arranged at an inclined angle of about 20° from the surface of leg. Many elaborate, nanoscale grooves are evident on each microseta, and these form a unique hierarchical structure (Fig.1c). According to Cassie’s law for surface wettability, such microstructures can be regarded as heterogeneous surfaces composed of solid and air7. The apparent contact angle l of the legs is described by cos l f1cos wf2, where f1 is the area fraction of microsetae with nanogrooves, f2 is the area fraction of air on the leg surface and w is the contact angle of the secreted wax. Using measured values of l and w, we deduce from the equation that the air fraction between the leg and the water surface corresponds to f2 96.86%. Available air is trapped in spaces in the microsetae and nanogrooves to form a cushion at the leg–water interface that prevents the legs from being wetted. This unique hierarchical micro- and nanostructuring on the leg’s surface therefore seems to be responsible for its water resistance and the strong supporting force. This clever arrangement allows water striders to survive on water even if they are being bombarded by raindrops, when they bounce to avoid being drowned. Our discovery may be helpful in the design of miniature aquatic devices and non-wetting materials. |
