Superhydrophobic materials have been widely reported throughout the scientific literature.
Their properties originate from a highly rough morphology and inherently water repellent …

Superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces have progressed rapidly in fundamental research over the
past 20 years, but their practical applications lag far behind. In this perspective, we first …

Nano-engineered surfaces have shown great promise in improving boiling heat flux and
heat transfer coefficient for thermal management. Electrodeposited copper foams have …

Despite considerable academical and practical interests on separation of water-in-oil
emulsion via special wettable membranes, fundamental understanding on microscale …

Two-phase heat transfer is crucial for thermal management of electronic devices, power
generation, refrigeration, and water desalination. The use of engineered surfaces can lead …

Surface roughness and wettability is important to enhance not only critical heat flux (CHF)
but also boiling heat transfer coefficient (HTC). Generally hydrophilic micro/nano structures …
