Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201305408-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Springtail skin morphology</bold> is translated into robust omniphobic polymer membranes by reverse imprint lithography. The combination of overhanging cross‐sections and their arrangement in a self‐supporting comblike pattern are crucial for mechanically stable coatings that can be even applied to curved surfaces. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg52wtn2wj" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
