The laws of wetting are well known for drops on rigid surfaces but change dramatically when
the substrate is soft and deformable. The combination of wetting and the intricacies of soft …

Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid surfaces with remarkable features
such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses …

Dropwise condensation (DWC) on non-wetting surfaces has remarkable potential to
enhance heat transfer performance compared to filmwise condensation on wetting …

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have emerged as a unique approach to
creating surfaces that can resist fouling when placed in contact with aqueous media, organic …

Vapor condensation is a widely used industrial process for transferring heat and separating
fluids. Despite progress in developing low surface energy hydrophobic and …

The ability to create superoleophobic surfaces repellent toward low‐surface‐tension liquids
is important for various applications, and has been recently demonstrated using re‐entrant …

Natural and engineered surfaces are never smooth, but irregular, rough at different scales,
compliant, possibly porous, liquid impregnated or superhydrophobic. The correct numerical …

Emulsions are widely used in agriculture where oil-based pesticides are sprayed as an
emulsion. However, emulsion droplets can bounce off hydrophobic plant surfaces, leading …

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) are an innovation that reduces droplet-solid
contact line pinning and interfacial friction. Recently, it has been shown that a liquid …

Biofilm growth has been observed in Soviet/Russian (Salyuts and Mir), American (Skylab),
and International (ISS) Space Stations, sometimes jeopardizing key equipment like …
