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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
