Relationship and Interconversion Between Superhydrophilicity, Underwater Superoleophilicity, Underwater Superaerophilicity, Superhydrophobicity, Underwater Superoleophobicity, and Underwater Superaerophobicity: A Mini-Review [PDF]
Superwetting surfaces have received increasing attention because of their rich practical applications. Although various superwettabilities are independently achieved, the relationship between those superwettabilities is still not well-clarified.

Role of Restored Underwater Images in Underwater Imaging Applications [PDF]
Underwater images are extremely sensitive to distortion occurring in an aquatic underwater environment, with absorption, scattering, polarization, diffraction and low natural light penetration representing common problems caused by sea water. Because of these degradation of quality, effectiveness of the acquired images for underwater applications may ...
