Wetting phenomena and superhydrophobic surfaces are ubiquitous in nature and have
recently been explored widely in scientific and engineering applications. The understanding …

We review existing explanations for drop pinning and the origin of the force required to
initiate the sliding of a drop on a solid surface (depinning). Theories that describe these …

Superwetting surface can be divided into (super) hydrophilic surface and (super)
hydrophobic surface. There are many methods to control superwetting surface, among …

Despite intensive investigations on the droplet receding contact angle on superhydrophobic
surfaces, ie, a key parameter characterizing surface wettability and adhesion, the …

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) prepared with phase invariant materials
(eg, Krytox GPL oil) have been increasingly researched as low-adhesion engineered …

Abstract The classic Cassie-Baxter equation has been used for decades to describe the
equilibrium contact angle of a droplet on a partially wetted, rough substrate and inspired …

A novel super-hydrophobic cotton material was fabricated via the grafting of PGMA polymer
brush and the subsequent immobilization of ZnO nanoparticles and octyltriethoxysilane …

Understanding how surface properties determine the mobility of a fakir droplet on patterned
surfaces, which is typically characterized by advancing and receding contact angles, is …

Aquaculture wastewater contains organics, inorganics, and microalgae, which need to be
removed before being discharged into the environment or recycled. These aquaculture …

Advances made in fabrication of patterned surfaces with well-defined dimensions of
topographic features and their lateral dissemination drive the progress in interpretation of …
