Flame‐Assisted Modification of Glass Wettability: Preliminary Results

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fog formation and moisture condensation limit the performance of glass surfaces in optical, microfluidic, and sensing applications, where stable transparency under humid conditions is essential. Enhancing surface wettability represents an effective strategy to mitigate these effects; therefore, the development of methods to tailor glass ...

Hierarchically Biporous Wick Vapor Chamber With Micro/Nano Condenser for Exceeding 600 W/cm2 Heat Dissipation

Small, EarlyView.
An integrated vapor chamber couples a hierarchically biporous copper wick with a micro/nano‐textured superhydrophobic condenser to form a self‐sustained liquid–vapor loop. The device dissipates extreme heat fluxes above 600 W/cm2, even when the condenser is above the heater, by overcoming the permeability‐capillarity trade‐off in conventional vapor ...
