Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

Biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces show great potential in oil–water separation, anti-
icing and self-cleaning. However, due to the instability caused by its fragile structure and …

Due to inspiration from the Nepenthes pitcher plant, a frontier of devices has emerged with
unmatched capabilities. Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs), particularly known for their liquid …

Liquid-infused surfaces (or lubricant-infused surfaces)(LIS) are a new class of functional
materials introduced in 2011. Their exceptional properties have earned them a place at the …

Janus wettability membranes have received much attention because of their asymmetric
surface wettability. On the basis of this distinctiveness from traditional symmetrical …

Dropwise condensation (DWC) is a heterogeneous phase-change process where vapor
changes to liquid in the form of discrete drops on an unwetted surface. The heat transfer …

Droplet nucleation and condensation are ubiquitous phenomena in nature and industry.
Over the past century, research has shown dropwise condensation heat transfer on …

Lubricated surfaces have shown promise in numerous applications where impinging foreign
droplets must be removed easily; however, before they can be widely adopted, the problem …

Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid surfaces with remarkable features
such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses …
