Harvesting energy from water, in the form of raindrops, river, and ocean waves, is of
considerable importance and has potential applications in self‐powered electronic devices …

The present study describes a simple and robust method for fabricating superhydrophobic
surfaces of Polylactic Acid (PLA) using the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) process …

Durable superamphiphobic surfaces are highly desired for real-world applications such as
self-cleaning, anti-fouling, personal protection, and functional sportswear. However …

When water comes in contact with a hydrophobic fluoropolymer, a triboelectric charge tends
to form on the surface. Here, it is investigated how the triboelectric charge formed upon …

The resistance of bacteria toward antibacterial drugs is a rising problem. This threat is a
major concern for space stations, where antibacterial surfaces would be ideal for materials …

Porous solid films that promote large apparent contact angles are interesting systems since
their wetting properties are dependent on both the surface structure and water penetration …

To investigate the formation mechanism of bundle structures on polycarbonate (PC)
surfaces, atomic force microscopy (AFM) was utilized to scratch a PC sheet. A theoretical …

We explore the surface properties of Teflon AF1600 films treated by oxygen plasma with
various procedure parameters. Contact angle (CA) measurements, scanning electron …

A flexible electrode material, with good surface amphiphobicity and mechanical and
chemical stability, was fabricated herein using a simple process. A superhydrophilic …

Plasma treatment is a widely used simple and ecofriendly method to improve the surface
wettability of polymers. However, this is challenging for fluorinated polymers because of their …
