Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …

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 …

Harvesting water from humid air via dewing can provide a viable solution to a water
shortage problem where liquid-phase water is not available. Here we experimentally …

The underlying theories interpreting wetting phenomena are still mainly focused on the
Young's equation, the Wenzel equation, and the Cassie–Baxter equation, despite the fact …

Surface roughness, porosity and contact angles of different carbon paper materials (TORAY
paper with PTFE from 0% to 60% of and SGL paper with 0% and 20% of PTFE) suitable as …

The extent of a droplet's spreading over a flat, smooth solid substrate and its equilibrium
height in the presence of gravity are determined approximately, without a numerical solution …

This book is the second volume in the series" Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion." The
premier volume was published in 2013. Even a cursory glance at the literature show that in …

Biomimetic hierarchical surfaces demonstrate a potential for a variety of green technologies,
including energy conversion and conservation, owing to their remarkable water repellence …

Hypothesis The shape of the “freezing tip” formed by the crystallization of water droplets
demonstrated remarkable universality-no dependence on the cooling rate and physico …
