The complex function of living systems is dictated by their inherent cooperative response to
multiple external stimuli which induce dynamic changes in their physicochemical properties …

Stimuli‐responsive materials are of immense importance because of their ability to undergo
alteration of their properties in response to their environment. The properties of such …

Extreme wetting behaviors have been the subject of numerous studies in recent decades.
Superhydrophilic surfaces with water contact angle lower than 5° is one of the most exciting …

Near infrared (NIR) irradiation can penetrate up to 10 cm deep into tissues and be remotely
applied with high spatial and temporal precision. Despite its potential for various medical …

Superhydrophobic surfaces with expanded wetting behaviors, like tunable adhesion, hybrid
surface hydrophobicity and smart hydrophobic switching have attracted increasing attention …

This study aims at investigating the influence of corrosion on water wettability of ASTM A36
steel. To this end, ASTM A36 steel specimens are subjected to different corrosion durations …
