Spontaneous Breakdown of Superhydrophobicity [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2007
In some cases water droplets can completely wet micro-structured superhydrophobic surfaces. The {\it dynamics} of this rapid process is analyzed by ultra-high-speed imaging.

Superhydrophobic frictions [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019
Significance The matchless mobility of water on superhydrophobic materials is often considered as the hallmark of water repellency. The friction of drops is indeed found to be unusual: instead of observing classical friction such as due to contact line and liquid viscosity, we show that the main source of resistance to the water motion arises

Superhydrophobic Terrestrial Cyanobacteria and Land Plant Transition

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plants and other organisms have evolved structures and mechanisms for colonizing land since the Early Ordovician. In this context, their surfaces, the crucial physical interface with the environment, are mainly considered barriers against water loss.

Analyze the shaping characteristics of micro-cylindrical-post in manufacturing process of a superhydrophobicity film

open access: yesTạp chí Khoa học và Công nghệ, 2023
Superhydrophobic films (SHF) have recently increased in routine due to their non-wettable capacity. Superhydrophobicity can be occurred by making a micro-structural-post on materials with the surface having a low energy level.
