Jids 3. SUMMARY 
on 
iss. It We have shown that the differently structured rough surfaces show different adhesive 
properties and can be tested by using a method based on force-distance 
measurement of an adhering adhesive tape. The structured surfaces can be easily 
oe manufactured by sandblasting or flame spraying as well as subsequent 
electrochemical methods in order to achieve a hierarchial topography. 
Moreover, the first experiments show that also rough metallic surfaces can be coated 
and with tetraetherlipids, and so they represent a two-fold biomimetic transfer based on 
W the lotos leaf surface topography and chemistry as well as durability of the 
or biomolecular coating. Furthermore, long-term tests of the forementioned surfaces are 
nic being developed. In this case the samples have to be tested during such a long 
period of time as months and years. Systematic test of durability as well as 
antiadhesive testing as a function of surface structure and chemistry will reveal if and 
10W how some surface features may be of universal character and lead to a set of 
experience-based standard surfaces. This would enhance and increase the number 
of applications of antiadhesive surfaces in industry.
