Over the past decade, there have been many successful attempts at artificially reproducing
the surface structures found on natural superhydrophobic surfaces. The researchers have …

Nature has endowed many of its living systems with functional structures with highly tuned
wettability. Inspired by nature, scientists began to mimic these natural templates and as a …

Cleaning of wastewater for the environment is an emerging issue for the living organism.
The separation of oily wastewater, especially emulsified mixtures, is quite challenged due to …

Facile construction of multifunctional fabrics with durability still remains a challenge in the
past decade. In this work, we report a facile fabrication of non-fluorinated superhydrophobic …

Hypothesis The superhydrophobic surfaces with re-entrant microstructures are known to
provide robust superhydrophobicity by enhancing the energy barrier for Cassie-Baxter to …

Phase change materials (PCMs) were characterized to adsorb/release the thermal energy
during the phase transition process over a certain temperature range. The PCMs had been …

In this present work, vertically oriented ZnO nanorods (NRs) were grown at various
microwave radiations (300 W, 360 W, 450 W, 540 W) through a fast and low cost microwave …

Robust superhydrophobic cotton fabrics with ultraviolet (UV)-proof performance were
prepared via a simple one-pot method with composite coating of hierarchical CuS …

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the development of functional,
fluorine-free superhydrophobic surfaces with improved adhesion for better applicability into …

In the present study, superhydrophobic magnetic spiky nickel nanowires were fabricated
using a one-pot hydrothermal process and grafted with octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS) …
