This study introduces an approach for creating liquid‐like slippery surfaces (LLS) on various substrates. An epoxy‐silicon (EpSi) coating is applied, plasma‐activated, and immersed in an organosilane solution, forming siloxane chains. The resulting LLS exhibits ultra‐low ice adhesion, high transparency, self‐cleaning, and anti‐staining properties ...

This study presents robust polyimide superhydrophobic surfaces with excellent mechanical durability, thermal stability, and chemical stability. A high‐yield and cost‐effective method to fabricate high‐aspect‐ratio polyimide surface microstructures is developed by controlling the template surface treatment, precursor molecular weight, and vacuum process

Temperature‐Dependent Properties of Atomic Layer Deposition‐Grown TiO2 Thin Films
This study explores the temperature‐dependent properties of TiO₂ thin films grown by atomic layer deposition using tetrakis dimethyl amino titanium and water. The films exhibit increased oxynitride incorporation as the process temperature increases from 150 to 350 °C, significantly influencing their optical and electrical properties. Findings highlight

CO2 laser ablation, a fast, inexpensive, and reproducible method, is used to create flexible elastomer molds with millimeter‐long cavities for the fabrication of dissolvable polymer needles. Made from PVP, these milli‐needles achieve ≈560 µm penetration into porcine skin, demonstrating their potential for effective transdermal drug delivery.
