Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...
