With the advent of the technology of the oleoplaned slippery surfaces as thebetter solution to self-cleaning, anti fouling and self-healing smart surfaces,the stability of the oil layer on the surfaces has caught a great deal ofattention from the research community. Rose petals irrespective of itssuperhydrophobic nature exhibits a very high adhesion owing to the hierarchicalstructures and can thus serve as an excellent surface to obtain a stable oilfilm. Also, with gradual covering of the rose petal structures by the oil thechange in the adhesion force is observed to decrease and an increase in thefilm thickness beyond a certain height causes cloaking of the droplet and thuspresents us with an optimum thickness which can give us a stable oil film andalso exhibit high degree of slipperiness. The findings can be applied forfurther applications in droplet based microfluidics, as a low energy actuationsurface, or as a self-healing and self-cleaning surface.
