Propulsion on a superhydrophobic ratchet [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2014
Liquids in the Leidenfrost state were shown by Linke to self-propel if placed on ratchets. The vapour flow below the liquid rectified by the asymmetric teeth entrains levitating drops by viscosity. This effect is observed above the Leidenfrost temperature of the substrate, typically 200°C for water.

A Route towards Durable Underwater Stable Superhydrophobic Surfaces: PET-Reinforced Candle Soot Layers

open access: yesSurfaces
Superhydrophobic coating is widely used due to its waterproof and self-cleaning properties. Carbon soot (CS) nanoparticles are naturally superhydrophobic and non-toxic which are superior to other superhydrophobic coating.
