Light-induced charged slippery surfaces
Science Advances, 2022 Slippery lubricant-infused porous (SLIPS) and superhydrophobic surfaces have emerged as promising interfacial materials for various applications such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, and antifouling. Paradoxically, the coverage/screening of lubricant layer on underlying rough matrix endows functionalities impossible on superhydrophobic surfaces; however ...

Magnetic slippery extreme icephobic surfaces [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractAnti-icing surfaces have a critical footprint on daily lives of humans ranging from transportation systems and infrastructure to energy systems, but creation of these surfaces for low temperatures remains elusive. Non-wetting surfaces and liquid-infused surfaces have inspired routes for the development of icephobic surfaces.

Slippery quartz surfaces for anti‐fouling optical windows
Droplet, 2023 The surface of camera‐based medical devices is easily smeared by blood and fog during the surgical procedure, causing visual field loss and bringing great distress to both doctors and patients.

Straight walking and turning on a slippery surface [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARYIn stick insects, walking is the result of the co-action of different pattern generators for the single legs and coordinating inter-leg influences. We have used a slippery surface setup to understand the role the local neuronal processing in the thoracic ganglia plays in the ability of the animal to show turning movements.

Inner surface of Nepenthes slippery zone: ratchet effect of lunate cells causes anisotropic superhydrophobicity [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Inner surface of Nepenthes slippery zone shows anisotropic superhydrophobic wettability. Here, we investigate what factors cause the anisotropy via sliding angle measurement, morphology/structure observation and model analysis.

Contributions of lunate cells and wax crystals to the surface anisotropy of Nepenthes slippery zone [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Nepenthes slippery zone presents surface anisotropy depending on its specialized structures. Herein, via macro–micro–nano scaled experiments, we analysed the contributions of lunate cells and wax crystals to this anisotropy.

Evaporation and Electrowetting of Sessile Droplets on Slippery Liquid-Like Surfaces and Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) [PDF]
Langmuir, 2020 Sessile droplet evaporation underpins a wide range of applications from inkjet printing to coating. However, drying times can be variable and contact-line pinning often leads to undesirable effects, such as ring stain formation. Here, we show voltage programmable control of contact angles during evaporation on two pinning-free surfaces.
