An introduction to superhydrophobicity [PDF]
Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2010 This paper is derived from a training session prepared for COST P21. It is intended as an introduction to superhydrophobicity to scientists who may not work in this area of physics or to students. Superhydrophobicity is an effect where roughness and hydrophobicity combine to generate unusually hydrophobic surfaces, causing water to bounce and roll off ...

Manipulation of the Superhydrophobicity of Plasma-Etched Polymer Nanostructures [PDF]
Micromachines, 2018 The manipulation of droplet mobility on a nanotextured surface by oxygen plasma is demonstrated by modulating the modes of hydrophobic coatings and controlling the hierarchy of nanostructures. The spin-coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) allows for

Perpetual superhydrophobicity [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2016 A liquid droplet placed on a geometrically textured surface may take on a "suspended" state, in which the liquid wets only the top of the surface structure, while the remaining geometrical features are occupied by vapor. This superhydrophobic Cassie-Baxter state is characterized by its composite interface which is intrinsically fragile and, if ...

The superhydrophobicity of polymer surfaces: Recent developments
Journal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics, 2011 Superhydrophobicity is the extreme water repellence of highly textured surfaces. The field of superhydrophobicity research has reached a stage where huge numbers of candidate treatments have been proposed and jumps have been made in theoretically ...

Faraday Discussions, 2010 Superhydrophobicity is mainly remarkable for the special dynamical behaviours it generates: low adhesion, giant hydrodynamic slip, frictionless motion, rebounds after impacts. Here we discuss most of these properties. We first recall how contact angle hysteresis can be minimized in this state.

Metastable Underwater Superhydrophobicity
Physical Review Letters, 2010 Superhydrophobicity is generally considered to be a thermodynamically stable wetting state. The stability of the plastron (the thin air film separating the substrate from the water in the superhydrophobic state) was studied in underwater experiments. The plastron exhibited a rapid decay after a well defined onset time, which was found to be dependent ...

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films [PDF]
Advanced ScienceFrom power lines and airplane wings to wind turbines, many devices and infrastructure would benefit from icephobicity, the ability for a material to shed ice, and thus avoid costly damages which disrupt critical aspects of daily life.

Superhydrophobic Terrestrial Cyanobacteria and Land Plant Transition
Frontiers 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.

Tạp 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.
