Flame‐Assisted Modification of Glass Wettability: Preliminary Results
Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fog formation and moisture condensation limit the performance of glass surfaces in optical, microfluidic, and sensing applications, where stable transparency under humid conditions is essential. Enhancing surface wettability represents an effective strategy to mitigate these effects; therefore, the development of methods to tailor glass ...

Small, EarlyView.An integrated vapor chamber couples a hierarchically biporous copper wick with a micro/nano‐textured superhydrophobic condenser to form a self‐sustained liquid–vapor loop. The device dissipates extreme heat fluxes above 600 W/cm2, even when the condenser is above the heater, by overcoming the permeability‐capillarity trade‐off in conventional vapor ...

Small, EarlyView.A water drop slides over a distance of a few centimeters across arrays whose top surfaces exhibit a contact angle below 10°. The arrays are fabricated with hydrophilic tops and hydrophobic sidewalls and substrate, forming Janus structures. As the drop moves, it generates a spontaneous electric charge and leaves behind tiny satellite droplets that ...

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation
Small, EarlyView.Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.
