Many plants have developed mechanisms to defeat herbivories or pests. By creating specific surface patterns, plants enable a variety of functions, such as color effects, water repellency or wetting, etc. Following an overview of the various functions of patterned plant surfaces, this presentation discusses the manufacture of patterned coatings that mimic insect anti-adhesive properties of plants. These coatings can be made from sustainable materials, such as cellulose derivatives.
