The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …

Wettability of a solid surface by a liquid plays an important role in several phenomena and
applications, for example in adhesion, printing, and self‐cleaning. In particular, wetting of …

The wetting transition from the Cassie–Baxter state to the Wenzel state on textured surfaces
was investigated. Nano-to microscale hexagonal pillared lattices were prepared by …

Omniphobic surfaces found in nature have great potential for enabling novel and emerging
products and technologies to facilitate the daily life of human societies. One example is the …

Abstract Characterization of the wetting properties is a prerequisite for a fundamental
understanding and the targeted development of superhydrophobic and superamphiphobic …

By promoting dropwise condensation of water, nanostructured superhydrophobic coatings
have the potential to dramatically increase the heat transfer rate during this phase change …

Today many aspects of science and technology are progressing into the nanoscale realm
where surfaces and interfaces are intrinsically important in determining properties and …

We measured the forces required to slide sessile drops over surfaces. The forces were
measured by means of a vertical deflectable capillary stuck in the drop. The drop adhesion …

Maintaining both high static liquid repellency and large dynamic pressure resistance is
highly preferred for a myriad of applications, such as energy conversion, anti-icing, and …

Abstract Hypothesis The Lucas-Washburn (LW) equation is the classical theory to describe
the dynamics of spontaneous imbibition in single micro-channels and micro-scale porous …
