The phenomena on the capillarity-driven migration of small objects are full of interest for
both scientific and engineering communities, and a critical review is thereby presented. The …

Inspired by nature, superhydrophobic surfaces have been widely studied. Usually the
wettability of a superhydrophobic surface is quantified by the macroscopic contact angle …

Abstract Hypothesis: Amphiphilic Janus nanosheets are plate-shaped, with one hydrophilic
and one hydrophobic side; they are expected to assemble at oil-water interfaces. The …

Biological and engineering applications of superhydrophobic surfaces are limited by the
stability of the wetting state determined by the transition from the Cassie–Baxter state to the …

We report evaporation of ethanol/water mixture droplets on both pillar-arrayed and micro-
holed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces. Analysis of wettability shows that (i) when the …

A water strider has a remarkable capability to stand and walk freely on water. Supporting
forces of a water strider and a bionic robot have been calculated from the side view of …

This paper is an extension of our earlier paper in which it was shown that the meniscus
shape in a cylindrical capillary could be computed by solving the Young–Laplace equation …

微结构表面浸没水下所形成的液气界面对减阻等应用具有重要意义. 液气界面的稳定存在是结构
功能表面发挥作用的前提. 因此, 如何增强液气界面的稳定性以抵抗浸润转变过程 …

Liquid marbles and particle rafts are liquid interfaces covered with tiny particles, which are
accompanied with many exotic behaviors. This study seeks to extend our understanding on …

Defined as an assembly of polymer chains which are tethered by one end to a surface or an
interface, polymer brushes have found many applications. In particular, grafting of …
