Transparent materials such as glasses and some polymers play an essential role in our
daily life. Indeed, it is well known that their application in mirrors, windows, automobile …

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

Superhydrophobicity on structured surfaces is frequently achieved via the maintenance of
liquid-air interfaces adjacent to the trapped air pockets. These interfaces, however, are …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have been widely employed in both fundamental research and
industrial applications because of their self-cleaning, waterproof, and low-adhesion …

The phenomenon of surface ice accumulation in low temperature and high humidity
environments brings significant challenges to economy, energy, and security …

Superhydrophobic coatings repel liquids by trapping air inside microscopic surface textures.
However, the resulting composite interface is prone to collapse under external pressure …

Both surface morphology and surface energy of solid surface conclude its wettability, either
in Wenzel's hydrophobic or Cassie–Baxter's superhydrophobic wetting state. The …

Mechanochemical durability is a key limited factor for superhydrophobic coatings to produce
the real applications in some important fields. Herein, the superhydrophobic PU-based …

Wetting and drying of pores or cavities, made by walls that attract or repel the liquid, is a
ubiquitous process in nature and has many technological applications including, for …

Underwater metastability hinders the durable application of superhydrophobic surfaces. In
this work, through thermodynamic analysis, we theoretically demonstrate the existence of an …
