Superhydrophobic frictions [PDF]
Proceedings 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

Superhydrophobicity on Hairy Surfaces [PDF]
Langmuir, 2010 We investigate the wetting properties of surfaces patterned with fine elastic hairs, with an emphasis on identifying superhydrophobic states on hydrophilic hairs. We formulate a two dimensional model of a large drop in contact with a row of equispaced elastic hairs and, by minimising the free energy of the model, identify the stable and metastable ...

Fabrication of elastic, conductive, wear-resistant superhydrophobic composite material
Scientific Reports, 2021 A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/Cu superhydrophobic composite material is fabricated by wet etching, electroless plating, and polymer casting. The surface topography of the material emerges from hierarchical micro/nanoscale structures of etched aluminum ...

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 ...
