Passive water control at the surface of a superhydrophobic lichen [PDF]

, 2011
Some lichens have a super-hydrophobic upper surface, which repels water drops, keeping the surface dry but probably preventing water uptake. Spore ejection requires water and is most efficient just after rainfall.

Plasma-enabled superhydrophobic coatings on mild steel

, 2023
This work demonstrates a new pathway to the direct on-surface fabrication of a superhydrophobic surface coating on mild steel. The coating was formed using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to convert a liquid small-molecule precursor (1,2,4 ...

Study of the Effects of Microgroove Geometry on Frost Structure [PDF]

, 2012
The variation in the frost structure on a number of microgrooved brass surfaces is examined through an experimental study. The microgrooved samples are 45 mm x 45 mm in dimension with a broad range of groove dimensions.
