Abstract
Microstructured surface development three dimensional form solutions that provide multiple functional benefits when applied to an object. Microstructured surface development three dimensional form solutions that provide efficiency gains to an object in dynamic motion in a fluid medium through aerodynamic/hydrodynamic skin friction drag reduction. Microstructured surface development three dimensional form solutions that additionally provide functional benefits to an object in a static, non-moving state as well as a dynamic state—namely super-hydrophobicity, light absorption, sound/radar absorption and heat dissipation. Microstructured surface development three dimensional form solutions that can be molded into the surface of an object. Microstructured surface development three dimensional form solutions that can be added to the surface of an object though a secondary forming operation (ie machining, laser engraving). Microstructured surface development three dimensional form solutions that can be attached to the surface of an object using an adhesive backed thin film that has been molded/cast with unique microstructured surfaces. Microstructured surface development three dimensional form solutions that are composed of unique tile-like individual elements that can be assembled as a unique continuous array on an object.
