Janus wettability membranes have received much attention because of their asymmetric
surface wettability. On the basis of this distinctiveness from traditional symmetrical …

The current progress in mechanically durable water‐repellent surfaces is reviewed. Water
repellency can be accomplished through textured superhydrophobic surfaces, or slippery …

Wetting properties of metal surfaces play important role in different practical and
fundamental applications. In this work we investigate the variation of wetting properties of …

The optical printing of nanoparticles at pre-defined locations is emerging as an area of
intense research due to its potential applications in diverse fields, ranging from photonics to …

Inspired by the non-contact nature offered by the superhydrophobic surfaces of living
creatures in nature, the superhydrophobic and slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces …

A facile and cost-effective method was developed to create superhydrophobic surfaces onto
a superhydrophilic commercial paper for the application of droplet splitting of microliter …

Oil-water separation using super-wetting and the selective permeability of membranes for oil
or water has great ecological and economic significance. We report on the transition of …

Droplet splitting by exploiting tailored surface wettability is emerging as an important
pathway to creating ultralow volumes of samples that can have applications in bioassays …

We analyze vacuum storage-assisted transformation of laser-textured aluminum, copper and
stainless steel from hydrophilic to hydrophobic state that occurs only in the case of vacuum …

Superhydrophobicity is a property of surfaces characterized by extreme water repellence
and it is observed in highly textured low surface energy materials. The surface roughness …
