Superhydrophobic surfaces are smart surfaces with high water contact angles and low
surface energy. When water droplets rest on superhydrophobic surfaces, they often stay at …

Directional transport of fluids is crucial for vital activities of organisms and numerous
industrial applications. This process has garnered widespread research attention due to the …

In this work, an antibacterial smart absorbent pad with Janus structure was prepared to
preserve and indicate the quality of meat. The pad had two layers, polyurethane (PU) …

Hypothesis The droplet manipulation behavior is affected by chemical structural driving force
(including the superposition of electric, magnetic, optical and thermal fields), which directly …

The realization of the directional water transport function of Janus membrane is based on
the formation of its asymmetric structure. Nevertheless, the persistent problems of unstable …

Droplet manipulation plays a critical role in both fundamental research and practical
applications, especially when combined with smart materials and external fields to achieve …

It is difficult for traditional droplet manipulation to combine transportation and rapid capture
of droplets on an inclined surface. In this work, a slippery magnetic track (SMT) is presented …

Slippery lubricant-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) are endowed with good pressure
stability, self-repairing performance and omniphobic property due to the fluid lubricant layer …
