Liquid–vapour phase change is a useful and efficient process to transfer energy in nature,
as well as in numerous domestic and industrial applications. Relatively recent advances in …

Synthetic superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces were developed after 1990s, and the number of
publications in this field is around 13 500 at present. However, the industrial production of …

A new kind of functional surfaces with particular characteristics, ie, superhydrophobic
surfaces, has recently been developed and applied in many fields, such as airplane, wind …

This review gives an overview of recent advances in the potential applications of
superhydrophobic materials. Such properties are characterized by extremely high water …

The surface wettability of biomaterials determines the biological cascade of events at the
biomaterial/host interface. Wettability is modulated by surface characteristics, such as …

Owing to advances in micro-and nanofabrication methods over the last two decades, the
degree of sophistication with which solid surfaces can be engineered today has caused a …

In conventional dropwise condensation on a hydrophobic surface, the condensate drops
must be removed by external forces for continuous operation. This Letter reports continuous …

Condensation on superhydrophobic nanostructured surfaces offers new opportunities for
enhanced energy conversion, efficient water harvesting, and high performance thermal …

Condensation is a phase change phenomenon often encountered in nature, as well as used
