Hydrophobicity and superhydrophobicity with self-cleaning properties are well-known
characteristics of several natural surfaces, such as the leaves of the sacred lotus plant …

Superhydrophobic surfaces, originally inspired by nature, have gained a lot of interest in the
past few decades. Superhydrophobicity is a term attributed to the low adhesion of water …

Recently, controlling the wettability of a metallic surface so that it is either superhydrophobic
or superhydrophilic has become important for many applications. However, conventional …

Dropwise condensation is a phenomenon of common occurrence in everyday life, the
understanding and controlling of which is of great interest to applications ranging from …

An effective pathway to enhance the heat transfer process is to induce the formation of
highly mobile condensate droplets, employing micro‐nanoengineered superhydrophobic …

We describe a simple method for fabricating superhydrophobic high temperature vulcanized
(HTV) silicone rubber surfaces by direct replication using a compression molding system …

The effect of surface roughness on the pool boiling heat transfer of water was investigated
on superhydrophilic aluminum surfaces. The formation of nanoscale protrusions on the …

Scale formation presents an enormous cost to the global economy. Classical nucleation
theory dictates that to reduce the heterogeneous nucleation of scale, the surface should …

Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals in transmission lines. Accumulation of ice
on aluminum may cause serious consequences such as tower collapse and power failure …

A strategy, combining laser chemical modification with laser texturing, followed by
chemisorption of the fluorinated hydrophobic agent was used to fabricate the series of …
