With the development of science and technology, the operating power of equipment is
getting higher and higher, and the demand for heat dissipation is also increasing. Therefore …

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate
water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present …

The barrier resistance and wettability of papers are commonly controlled by the application
of petroleum-based derivatives such as polyethylene, waxes and/or fluor-derivatives as …

Nature is the creation of aesthetic functional systems, in which many natural materials have
vagarious structures. Inspired from nature, such as lotus leaf, butterfly'wings, showing …

Non-wettable surfaces with high water contact angles (WCAs) and facile sliding of drops,
called superhydrophobic or ultrahydrophobic, have received tremendous attention in recent …

The Wenzel and Cassie− Baxter equations depending on the extent of liquid/solid interfacial
contact area were generally used to estimate water contact angles on superhydrophobic …

Topographic and wetting properties of AISI 316L stainless steel and Ti–6Al–V alloys were
modified via linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulse irradiation. In order to induce a …

Most of the artificial superhydrophobic surfaces that have been fabricated to date are not
biodegradable, renewable, or mechanically flexible and are often expensive, which limits …

Slippery surfaces have received great attention for more than a quarter-century. In particular,
during the last decade, interest has increased exponentially, resulting in thousands of …

Superhydrophobic coatings, inspired by nature, are an emerging technology. These water
repellent coatings can be used as solutions for corrosion, biofouling and even water and air …
