Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

Liquid-repellent surfaces, especially smooth solid surfaces with covalently grafted flexible
polymer brushes or alkyl monolayers, are the focus of an expanding research area. Surface …

On account of their wide range of applications in self-cleaning, anti-icing, frost suppression,
etc., superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted considerate attention. However, most of the …

In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

Liquid drops sliding on tilted surfaces is an everyday phenomenon and is important for many
industrial applications. Still, it is impossible to predict the drop's sliding velocity. To make a …

For several decades, high-density, end-tethered polymers, forming so-called polymer
brushes, have inspired scientists to understand their properties and to translate them to …

interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

Liquid‐like surfaces (LLSs) with dynamic repellency toward various pollutants (eg, bacteria,
oil, and ice), have shown enormous potential in the fields of biology, environment, and …

Microplastic fibres (MPFs) released during the laundering of synthetic textiles are one of the
largest sources of microplastic pollution in oceanic environments, forming a barrier to a …

Fast removal of small water drops from surfaces is a challenging issue in heat transfer, water
collection, or anti‐icing. Poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) brushes show good prospects to …
