Wetting control is essential for many applications, such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-
fogging, antibacterial action as well as anti-reflection and friction control. While significant …

The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …

Vapor condensation plays a key role in a wide range of industrial applications including
power generation, thermal management, water harvesting and desalination. Fast droplet …

The wetting transition from the Cassie–Baxter state to the Wenzel state on textured surfaces
was investigated. Nano-to microscale hexagonal pillared lattices were prepared by …

Superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces have been investigated vigorously since around 2000
due in large part to their unique potential for hydrodynamic frictional drag reduction without …

We study frost formation and its impact on icephobic properties of superhydrophobic
surfaces. Using an environmental scanning electron microscope, we show that frost …

Wettability of a solid surface by a liquid plays an important role in several phenomena and
applications, for example in adhesion, printing, and self‐cleaning. In particular, wetting of …

Owing to their specialized functions and various potential applications, bioinspired
superwettable surfaces have captured much attention. Nevertheless, superhydrophobic …

In this work, we study the wetting of a surface decorated with one nanogroove by a bulk
Lennard-Jones liquid at various temperatures and densities. We used atomistic simulations …

Abstract Characterization of the wetting properties is a prerequisite for a fundamental
understanding and the targeted development of superhydrophobic and superamphiphobic …
