Superhydrophobic materials have been widely reported throughout the scientific literature.
Their properties originate from a highly rough morphology and inherently water repellent …

Surface wettability, a property that governs the interaction between the solid and liquid
phases, is central in various biological systems and technological applications. A typical …

This study aimed to investigate the superhydrophobic mechanism of kaolinite particles
modified with poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS), which has potential as a superior hydrophobic …

The wettability of a reservoir rock is an important property affecting the states of fluids in
pores that are constructed with minerals of various types. However, the mineral grains are …

An important reason for the century-long debate concerning wetting dynamics is the lack of
decisive information about the contact line. The contact line cannot be treated as a …

The morphological information on the very front of a spreading liquid is fundamental to our
understanding of dynamic wetting. Debate has lasted for years concerning the nanoscopic …

There remain significant gaps in our ability to predict dewetting and wetting despite the
extensive study over the past century. An important reason is the absence of nanoscopic …

We use molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the early and developed stages of
surface condensation. We find that the liquid-vapor and solid-liquid interfacial thermal …

The surface hydrophobicity and its heterogeneity are essential physicochemical properties
of functional materials and environmental media, which directly influence many critical …

Wettability is a key property of a reservoir rock, which can significantly affect the distribution
and transportation of fluids (gas, oil, water, etc.) in reservoir pores which are constructed with …
