(A) Self-cleaning experiment for the flat printed surface inclined and covered with activated carbon and washed with distilled water. as the drops adhere to the surface, the contaminant cannot be removed. (b) Self-cleaning experiment for the biomimetic surface (100µm designed coated microchannels) inclined and covered with activated carbon. as the water drops do not adhere to the surface and roll off easily, they carry the contaminant away and clean the surface. (c) Dynamic adhesion experiment for an inclined biomimetic surface after 30minutes of UV light radiation, drops of water (blue) are placed over the surface and they adhere to the material.
