Superhydrophobic surfaces hold great prospects for extremely diverse applications owing to
their water repellence property. The essential feature of superhydrophobicity is micro-/nano …

Superhydrophobicity is the tendency of a surface to repel water drops. A surface is qualified
as a superhydrophobic surface only if the surface possesses a high apparent contact angle …

The wettability of solid surfaces is a renewed old topic that has impacted most fields of
science and technology for a long time, from cave painting in the ancient to microfluidic …

Surfaces designed so that drops do not adhere to them but instead bounce off have received
substantial attention because of their ability to stay dry,,,, self-clean,, and resist icing,,. A drop …

Through 3.7 billion years of evolution and natural selection, plants and animals in nature
have ingeniously fulfilled a broad range of fascinating functions to achieve optimized …

Surface texturing has been frequently used for tribological purposes in the last three
decades due to its great potential to reduce friction and wear. Although biological systems …

A typical superhydrophobic (ultrahydrophobic) surface can repel water droplets from wetting
itself, and the contact angle of a water droplet resting on a superhydrophobic surface is …

Superliquid repellency can be achieved by nano-and microstructuring surfaces in such a
way that protrusions entrap air underneath the liquid. It is still not known how the three …

Self-cleaning surfaces based on lotus effect with a very high static water contact angle
greater than 160° and a lower roll-off angle have been successfully studied by researchers …

The development of bioinspired interfacial materials with enhanced drop mobility that mimic
the innate functionalities of nature will have a significant impact on the energy, environment …
