Recovering superhydrophobicity in nanoscale and macroscale surface textures [PDF]
, 2019 Here, we investigate complete drying of hydrophobic cavities in order to elucidate its dependence on the size of confinement, its geometry, and the degree of hydrophobicity. Two complementary theoretical approaches are adopted: a macroscopic one based on

Controlling the Organization of Colloidal Sphero-Cylinders Using Confinement in a Minority Phase
Gels, 2018 We demonstrate experimentally that a phase-separating host solvent can be used to organize colloidal rods into different cluster and network states. The rods are silica sphero-cylinders which are preferentially wet by the water-rich phase of an oil–water

Spring-block approach for nanobristle patterns
, 2010 A two dimensional spring-block type model is used to model capillarity driven self-organization of nanobristles. The model reveals the role of capillarity and van der Waals forces in the pattern formation mechanism.

Drops on soft solids: Free energy and double transition of contact angles [PDF]
, 2014 The equilibrium shape of liquid drops on elastic substrates is determined by minimising elastic and capillary free energies, focusing on thick incompressible substrates.

Capillary-driven flow induced by a stepped perturbation atop a viscous film
, 2012 Thin viscous liquid films driven by capillarity are well described in the lubrication theory through the thin film equation. In this article, we present an analytical solution of this equation for a particular initial profile: a stepped perturbation ...

Review of Capillary Rise Experiments for Surface-Active Solutes in the Subsurface
Geotechnics, 2022 Surface-active solutes that exist in the subsurface either naturally (humic acid) or as a result of anthropogenic activities (alcohols, surfactants, PFAS) alter the hydraulic and geotechnical properties of the unsaturated porous media.

Simulation of the electrohydrodynamic instability process used in the fabrication of hierarchic and hollow micro/nanostructures [PDF]
, 2014 This article demonstrates that the electrohydrodynamic patterning process, a novel technique for the manufacturing of micro-and nano-scale structures, also allows the one-step realization of hierarchical structures and hollow structures.
