Ice accumulation poses a series of severe issues in daily life. Inspired by the nature,
superwettability surfaces have attracted great interests from fundamental research to anti …

Ice accumulation on solid surfaces can incur irretrievable losses and catastrophic affairs in
daily life. These issues can be addressed and strategically alleviated by adopting effective …

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 …

Recently, there have been numerous deadly gas and oil pipeline explosions in the United
States, resulting in extensive investigations based on corrosion and aged foundations …

Superhydrophobicity has received significant attention over the past three decades owing to
its significant potential in self-cleaning, anti-icing and drag reduction surfaces, energy …

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 …

Deposition of liquid droplets on solid surfaces is of great importance to many fundamental
scientific principles and technological applications, such as spraying, coating, and printing …

A droplet deposited or impacting on a superhydrophobic surface rolls off easily, leaving the
surface dry and clean. This remarkable property is due to a surface structure that favors the …

Rough or patterned surfaces infused with a lubricating liquid display many of the same
useful properties as conventional gas-cushioned superhydrophobic surfaces. However …

Droplet impacting on solid or liquid interfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature.
Although complete rebound of droplets is widely observed on superhydrophobic surfaces …
