Collecting microscale water droplets suspended in the wind, that is, fog, using permeable
surfaces is a promising solution to the worldwide problem of water scarcity and is of great …

Wetting phenomena and superhydrophobic surfaces are ubiquitous in nature and have
recently been explored widely in scientific and engineering applications. The understanding …

We review existing explanations for drop pinning and the origin of the force required to
initiate the sliding of a drop on a solid surface (depinning). Theories that describe these …

Versatile surfaces demonstrating multiple interfacial functionalities are highly demanded as
a surface typically serves various duties and faces multiple challenges in real practice …

Superhydrophobic surfaces decorated with macrostructures have attracted extensive
attention due to their excellent performance of reducing the contact time of impacting …

This research focused on the adsorption features and depression mechanism of 1-
hydroxyethylene-1, 1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) used as a novel dolomite depressant on …

Droplet freezing on inclined surfaces exists widely in engineering fields. To accurately
predict and control the freezing process of a sessile water droplet on inclined surface, a …

The initial spreading of glycerol and silicon oil droplets on smooth, corrugated, and
orthogonal surfaces is numerically investigated by an effective, sharp-interface modeling …

Despite intensive investigations on the droplet receding contact angle on superhydrophobic
surfaces, ie, a key parameter characterizing surface wettability and adhesion, the …

Abstract The classic Cassie-Baxter equation has been used for decades to describe the
equilibrium contact angle of a droplet on a partially wetted, rough substrate and inspired …
