Transparent materials such as glasses and some polymers play an essential role in our daily life. Indeed, it is well known that their application in mirrors, windows, automobile …
This review summarizes some common methods for determining the wettability of powders, especially the contact angle that a liquid would form on powders. The sessile drop, Wilhelmy …
Over the past few decades, the study of superhydrophobic coatings (SHCs) gained the significant interest of worldwide researchers due to their tremendous applications in various …
Among superhydrophobic materials, non-wettable textiles are probably the ones that come in contact or interact with the human body most frequently. Hence, textile treatments for …
Binary and ternary poly (l-lactide)(PLLA)-based nanocomposites, containing nanolignin (1 wt%) and different metal oxide nanoparticles (0.5 wt%, Ag2O, TiO2, WO3, Fe2O3, and …

When droplets containing suspensions evaporate and dryout, they leave patterns which are the result of the composition of the liquid as well as the dynamics of evaporation. Exploiting …
A new type of water repellent treatment for woven cotton fabrics is demonstrated by using environmentally friendly non-toxic polymers. As a result of the treatment, cotton fabrics also …
Superhydrophobicity and icephobicity are governed by surface chemistry and surface structure. These two features signify a potential advance in surface engineering and have …
