Condensation is of paramount importance in numerous technological applications where
phase change processes take place. The physical nature of condensation from vapor to …

The phenomenon of droplet bouncing on superhydrophobic surfaces has received
extensive attention in the academic and industrial fields, as it is critical for various …

Dropwise condensation (DWC) on non-wetting surfaces has remarkable potential to
enhance heat transfer performance compared to filmwise condensation on wetting …

With the recent advances in surface fabrication technologies, condensation heat transfer has
seen a renaissance. Hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces have all been employed …

The use of lubricant-infused surfaces and slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces to promote
dropwise condensation of low surface tension fluids has received increasing attention in …

When two or more droplets coalesce on a superhydrophobic surface, the merged droplet
can jump spontaneously from the surface without requiring any external energy. This …

Hypothesis Jumping of coalesced droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) is widely
used for enhanced condensation, anti-icing/frosting, and self-cleaning due to its superior …

In spite of the substantial interest and ongoing research in the field of superhydrophobicity,
the wide daily-life usability of extremely water repellent coatings is somehow impeded due …

Liquid–vapor phase change phenomena such as boiling and condensation are processes
widely implemented in industrial systems such as power plants, refrigeration and air …

Inspired by our finding that nano-grass-surface (NGS) with smaller droplets has poorer
condensation heat transfer performance than smooth-single-molecule-layer surface (SSML) …
