Superhydrophobicity, a unique natural phenomenon observed in organisms such as lotus
leaves and desert beetles, has inspired extensive research on biomimetic materials. Two …

The gas–liquid interface plays a crucial role in reducing the flow resistance of
superhydrophobic surfaces. However, this interface is highly unstable and prone to collapse …

In this work, three novel re-entrant plate lattice structures (LSs) have been designed by
transforming conventional truss-based lattices into hybrid-plate based lattices, namely, flat …

The functional features of 3D printing surfaces can be controlled by changing the
parameters of additive processes. This study investigates the correlations between built-up …

Micro/nano-hierarchical structures are the building blocks of textured functional surfaces.
Having control over the 3D shapes of these building blocks will lead to better control over …

Surface wettability is a measure of adhesion and repulsion of liquids on a material's surface,
where surface wettability may be altered by creating a new interfacial surface between the …

The processes for making self-cleaning textile fabrics have been extensively discussed in
the literature. However, the exploration of the potential for self-cleaning by controlling the …

This work reports on the fabrication and characterization of a novel type of electrospun
magnetic nanofibers (MNFs), and their application as a magnetically-activable catalysts for …

Traditional oil-water separation membranes still face challenges in designing membrane
structures and pore sizes. In this study, we successfully prepared a PVA@ MAO 3D-Al …

In this study, the effect of nanostructure morphology on bubble nucleation of liquid argon on
a platinum solid surface was explored using molecular dynamics methods. We examined …
