Self-cleaning surfaces are attractive and desirable owing to their unique benefits to the
environment, energy, and labor-saving for various promising practical applications. Superior …

Maintaining the long-term stability of TiO 2-based superhydrophobic (SH) coatings remains
a considerable challenge because of the strong photocatalytic properties of TiO 2. The …

Hypothesis Superhydrophobic surfaces easily lose their excellent water-repellency after
damages, which limit their broad applications in practice. Thus, the fabrication of …

Superhydrophilic–superhydrophobic patterned surfaces constitute a branch of surface
chemistry involving the two extreme states of superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity …

Understanding droplet wetting on surfaces has broad implications for surface science and
engineering. Here, we report a joint theoretical/experimental study of the topological wetting …

The fragility of fine structure and the compromise of unique wettability upon mechanical
destruction have obviously restricted the industrial manufactures and practical applications …

For water droplets placed on a rough or structured surface, two distinct wetting states
commonly observed are either the Wenzel state (droplets wet the surface without showing …

In this research, a one-step and environmentally friendly method, free from the complexity of
chemical techniques, was utilized to prepare a superhydrophobic surface that can be …

In this paper, we have developed a one-step thermal treatment of polydimethylsiloxane
(PDMS) liquid to create transparent super-repellent surface (TSS) and super-repellent …

Due to the property of water repellence, biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces have been
widely applied to green technologies, in turn inducing wider and deeper investigations on …
