In this paper, the surface morphology and wetting properties towards deionized water and pure oil samples with varying carbon chain lengths of adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces of Pistia stratiotes L., Salvinia molesta D.Mitch., Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. and Dyckia platyphylla L.B. Smith were charac...
