Manipulation of the Superhydrophobicity of Plasma-Etched Polymer Nanostructures
Micromachines, 2018 The manipulation of droplet mobility on a nanotextured surface by oxygen plasma is demonstrated by modulating the modes of hydrophobic coatings and controlling the hierarchy of nanostructures. The spin-coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) allows for

Oscillatory motion of viscoelastic drops on slippery lubricated surfaces
Communications Physics, 2022 Water droplets move smoothly at a constant speed down an inclined tilted slippery lubricated surface. Here, droplets of polymer fluids are shown to exhibit for the same homogenous surface an oscillatory motion down the slope due to the viscoelastic ...

Preventing Hydrate Adhesion with Magnetic Slippery Surfaces [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2019 Hydrate formation is a common challenge in the oil and gas industry when natural gas is transported under cold conditions in the presence of water. Coatings are one of the solutions that have shown to be a promising approach to address this challenge. However, this strategy suffers from the intrinsic existence of a solid-liquid interface causing a high

Adaptive behaviors of Drosophila larvae on slippery surfaces
Journal of Biological Physics, 2023 AbstractFriction is ubiquitous but an essential force for insects during locomotion. Insects use dedicated bio-mechanical systems such as adhesive pads to modulate the intensity of friction, providing a stable grip with touching substrates for locomotion.
