The breath figure method, which is used to form porous films from water droplet templates,
has attracted considerable interest because it is simple and applicable to a wide variety of …

Creating an efficient, cost-effective method that can provide simple, practical and high-
throughput separation of oil–water mixtures has proved extremely challenging. This work …

In gravity-driven oil/water separation, porous membranes with both micro-and nano-pores,
corresponding to high flux, are eagerly desired. The fabrication of them remains as a great …

A superhydrophilic surface with two superhydrophobic circular patterns was fabricated via a
simple and rapid route, showing outstanding fog harvesting properties with a water …

We present a facile approach for the fabrication of low-cost surface biomicrofluidic devices
on superhydrophobic paper created by drop-casting a fluoroacrylic copolymer onto …

Hybrid engineered materials with high water-collecting efficiency inspired by Namib Desert
beetles - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C6CC01894G Royal …

In this work, on‐demand control of liquids is realized by using elastic, patterned omniphobic
surfaces. This paves the way for novel microfluidics, as well as liquid harvesting …

We integrate the adhesive properties of marine mussels, the lubricating properties of pitcher
plants, and the nonfouling properties of diatoms into nanostructured surfaces to develop a …

Slippery lubricant-infused surfaces are composite materials consisting of a solid matrix
permanently infused by a lubricant. Such surfaces have proved to be highly repellent to …

Polylactide (PLA), which features desirable biodegradability and easy melt processability,
has been recognized as one of the most promising environment-friendly polymer materials …
