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

Slippery surfaces have received great attention for more than a quarter-century. In particular,
during the last decade, interest has increased exponentially, resulting in thousands of …

Trapping air at the solid–liquid interface is a promising strategy for reducing frictional drag
and desalting water, although it has thus far remained unachievable without perfluorinated …

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

Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted great interest from fundamental
research to engineering applications. The stability, design, and regulation of …

Hierarchical laser-patterned surfaces were tested for their drag reduction abilities. A tertiary
level of surface roughness which supports stable Cassie wetting was achieved on the …

Restoring and maintaining the gas layer (plastron) on underwater superhydrophobic surface
(SHS) is critical for the real-world application of SHS, such as reducing friction drag in high …

The near-wall turbulent flow over a superhydrophobic surface (SHS) with random texture
was studied using three-dimensional Lagrangian particle tracking velocimetry (3D-PTV) …

This experimental study investigates the effects of ambient pressure and Reynolds number
on the volume of a plastron in a superhydrophobic surface (SHS) due to compression and …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted great attention for drag reduction application.
However, these surfaces are subject to instabilities, especially under fluid flow. In this work …
