Pneumatic programmable superrepellent surfaces

Droplet, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 48-55, July 2022., 2022
Morphological transformation of surface structures is an efficient way to in situ tune the wettability, which mainly relies on smart responsive materials. We develop a pneumatic programmable superrepellent surface by tailoring conventional wetting materials with the aid of microfluidics, showing an in situ morphological transformation for wettability ...
