Superhydrophobic composite coating for reliable corrosion protection of Mg alloy
Materials & Design, 2022 Endowing Mg alloy surface with superhydrophobicity solves its poor corrosion resistance for broadening the wide application fields. However, the superhydrophobicity is vulnerable to failure under service environments due to the exfoliation and ...

Surface structure and wetting characteristics of Collembola cuticles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The cuticles of the arthropods Collembola (springtails) are known to be superhydrophobic, displaying such properties as water-repellence and plastron formation; overhanging surface structures have been suggested as the source of these properties ...

Surface with Switchable Wettability
Cailiao gongcheng, 2016 Superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity are extreme properties of solid surface governed by surface morphology and surface chemistry. Switching between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity can be achieved by applying external stimuli and ...

Recovering superhydrophobicity in nanoscale and macroscale surface textures [PDF]
, 2019 Here, we investigate complete drying of hydrophobic cavities in order to elucidate its dependence on the size of confinement, its geometry, and the degree of hydrophobicity. Two complementary theoretical approaches are adopted: a macroscopic one based on

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 ...

Ag nanoparticles modified Cu/Cu(OH)2 film enables sensitive SERS detection via Coffee ring effect
Materials Research Express, 2021 In this work, based on the coffee ring effect, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were deposited on a superhydrophobic Cu/Cu(OH) _2 substrate with nanorod structure prepared by solution-immersion and stearic acid modification, and its surface-enhanced Raman ...
