Water on superhydrophilic surfaces spreads or is absorbed very quickly, and exhibits water
contact angles close to zero. We encounter superhydrophilic materials in our daily life (eg …

In this critical review, we summarize the recent developments of extreme wettability in nature
and biomimetic examples, and then we focus on surface wetting behavior beyond nature …

Superhydrophobic surfaces with tunable water adhesion have attracted much interest in
fundamental research and practical applications. In this paper, we used a simple method to …

An artificial periodic roughness-gradient conical copper wire (PCCW) can be fabricated by
inspiration from cactus spines and wet spider silks. PCCW can harvest fog on periodic points …

This review paper enlightens the importance of renewable resources such as water and
elaborates the role of textiles to enhance the efficiency of fog water collectors. Due to water …

The breath figure method, which is used to form porous films from water droplet templates,
has attracted considerable interest because it is simple and applicable to a wide variety of …

Construction and application of surfaces with switchable liquid–solid adhesion have
generated worldwide interest during the past a few years. These surfaces are of great …

In this paper, a convenient approach based on the reaction between an alkyl thiol and
hierarchical structured Cu (OH) 2 substrates is reported for the fabrication of super …

Water collection from moisture and fog has been of particular interest to arid areas. To mimic
the water-collecting capacity of Namib desert beetles, herein, we exploit a facile and low …

It is well recognized by the scientific community that the fog can be deposited and
transported on asymmetric surfaces, thus numerous efforts have been made to create such …
