So far, scientists have successfully mimicked superhydrophobicity based on careful
observation and study of such surfaces found in nature. The key outcome is the fact that …

Icephobic coatings for aircraft and other surfaces subjected to ice accretion have generated
great interest in the past two decades, due to the advancement of nanomaterials, coating …

A typical superhydrophobic (ultrahydrophobic) surface can repel water droplets from wetting
itself, and the contact angle of a water droplet resting on a superhydrophobic surface is …

Nature has developed materials, objects, and processes that function from the macroscale to
the nanoscale. The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to …

Nature is a school for scientists and engineers. After four and a half billion years of stringent
evolution, some creatures in nature exhibit fascinating surface wettability. Biomimetics …

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

Superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit extreme water-repellent properties. These surfaces with
high contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis also exhibit a self-cleaning effect and …

This work shows that after creating certain dual scale roughness structures by femtosecond
laser irradiation different metal alloys initially show superhydrophilic behavior with complete …

Designing multifunctional surfaces that have user-specified interactions with impacting
liquids and with incident light is a topic of both fundamental and practical significance …

This paper provides a review of superhydrophobicity and related phenomena
(superoleophobicity, omniphobicity, self-cleaning) induced by surface micro-and …
