Electrically Tunable Superhydrophobic Nanostructured Surfaces
ASME 4th International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels, Parts A and B, 2005In this work, we discuss dynamic electrical control of the wetting behavior of liquids on nanostructured surfaces spanning the entire possible range from superhydrophobic behavior to nearly complete wetting. It is demonstrated that a droplet of liquid can be reversibly switched between the superhydrophobic “rolling ball” state and the hydrophilic ...

Progess in superhydrophobic surface development
Soft Matter, 2008Research into extreme water-repellent surfaces began many decades ago, although it was only relatively recently that the term superhydrophobicity appeared in literature. Here we review the work on the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces, with focus on the different techniques used and how they have developed over the years, with particular focus ...

Micromachined superhydrophobic surfaces
2014Superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted a lot of attention since the potential applications of self-cleaning effect in self-cleaning textiles, fluid transport in micro/nanofluidics, bio-MEMS and so on. Different techniques have been developed to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces with roughness in micro or nano scale.

Superhydrophobicity for Antifouling Microfluidic Surfaces
2012Fouling of surfaces is often problematic in microfluidic devices, particularly when using protein or -enzymatic solutions. Various coating methods have been investigated to reduce the tendency for protein molecules to adsorb, mostly relying on hydrophobic surface chemistry or the antifouling ability of -polyethylene glycol.

Toward superhydrophobic surfaces
2020After an introductory description of surface wettability, including superhydrophobicity as it occurs in nature and an overview of biomimetic surfaces, their fabrication and a few typical application areas, this chapter will build up knowledge which is relevant to understand the basics principles of superhydrophobic surfaces.

Emerging transparent conductive superhydrophobic surfaces
Advances in Colloid and Interface ScienceTransparent conductive superhydrophobic surfaces (TCSHSs) represent a novel class of multifunctional materials that concurrently exhibit high transparency, excellent electrical conductivity, and robust superhydrophobicity. These three desirable properties are synergistically combined to provide a wide variety of advantages for various optoelectronic ...

Green Superhydrophobic Surfaces
This project aims to develop novel fluorine-free superhydrophobic (water-repelling) sur-faces, made from readily available non-toxic and economical branched low surface energy materials (LSEMs). These have important advantages over the existing LSEMs, including biodegradability, environmental acceptance and are cheaper to mass produce compared with ...openaire +2 more sources
Superhydrophobic Metal Surfaces
The fact that water droplets are far from wetting the surface upon which they stand leads to many associated tendencies, such as impeding fogging, icing and corrosion. The book covers the ways in which superhydrophobicity has been imparted to metals. Metals themselves tend more naturally to be hydrophilic; and so imparting superhydrophobicity relies ...openaire +1 more source
Superhydrophobic metal surfaces
2011Thesis (PhDApSc(MineralsandMaterials))--University of South Australia, 2011. Superhydrophobic surfaces show extremely low adhesion and negligible contact angle hysteresis (quasi-ideal wetting behaviour). This makes them ideal candidates for applications such as surface protection and microfluidic liquid transport.
