Drop impact on porous superhydrophobic polymer surfaces
, 2008 peer reviewedWater drop impacts are performed on porous-like superhydrophobic surfaces. We investigate the influence of the drop size and of the impact velocity on the event.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.As displayed in Graphical Abstract image.tif, a molecular‐design strategy precisely tailors high‐speed droplet dynamics through programmed surfactant co‐assembly. The structural transition into an entangled wormlike micelle network completely suppresses stochastic splashing on fibrous substrates.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A chlorine‐functionalized silane modifier (CPTMS) is introduced to cooperatively regulate CO2 reduction to C2+ products on Cu‐based catalysts. Dual‐functional interface sequentially enhances CO2 activation, intermediates protonation and C─C coupling, delivering a 5‐fold increase in C2+ faradaic efficiency (FE, 75% vs.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A transpiration‐inspired Janus nanofiber membrane creates a persistent dry‐wet interface that couples localized solar heating with hydration‐induced ion regulation. The asymmetric architecture sustains directional water and ion transport, suppresses salt accumulation, and enables simultaneous seawater evaporation and stable electricity generation ...

SUPERHYDROPHOBIC SURFACES FOR DRAG REDUCTION
Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere - Rendiconti di Scienze, 2014 Properties of superhydrophobic materials are examined in light of their possible use for drag reduction in naval applications. To achieve superhydrophobicity a low-surface-energy material must be structured so as to minimize the liquid-solid interactions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Electrode morphology is shown to govern oxygen‐bubble dynamics and interfacial mass transfer during water electrolysis. Positive‐curvature nanoneedles promote rapid release of small bubbles, sustain electrolyte renewal, and minimize mass‐transport losses, whereas flat and concave architectures increasingly retain bubbles.
