Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Intrinsic Negative Chargeability of Soft Clays [PDF]
ASEG Extended Abstracts, 2003 Lithologies with high clay contents can have negative chargeability. This response is usually attributed to geometric effects in induced polarization and electromagnetic surveys. Negative chargeability has also been noted in laboratory studies, but has remained unexplained.
