Wetting behaviors of structured metal surfaces have received considerable attention due to
the wide range of applications for commercial, industrial, and military uses as well as …

The recycling of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries (S-LIBs) has become more
significant in our society, so the focus of most academic studies has been on the recovery of …

Micro cell structures of different sizes were patterned using a nanosecond near-infrared
laser source on Al2024 aluminium alloy plates with 2 mm thickness. The influence of laser …

Here we demonstrate the use of projection stereo-micro-lithography as a low-cost and high-
throughput method to fabricate three dimensional (3D) microbattery. An Ultraviolet (UV) …

Nanocomposites exhibit promising performance in the application of dielectric capacitors
due to their excellent dielectric properties. However, nanoparticles are easy to aggregate …

This study experimentally explores fluid breakup and Leidenfrost dynamics for droplets
impacting a heated millimetric post. Using high-speed optical and infrared imaging, we …

Superhydrophobic surfaces on 6082 aluminum alloy substrates are tailored by low-cost
chemical surface treatments coupled to a fluorine-free alkyl-silane coating deposition. In …

A fluffy ultrathin-wall mesoporous surface carbon foam (UMSCF) with high thermal
conductivity was prepared via carbon-thermal reduction reaction between a carbon foam …

In this study, we have investigated the freezing delay of a water droplet on precooled
substrates of an aluminum alloy that is commonly used for heat-exchanger fins. The surfaces …

Hydrophobization lessens the water absorption by facade materials and is thus presumed to
reduce moisture problems in internally insulated facades. However, to do this it should retain …
