As a biodegradable and low-cost natural polymer, starch nanoparticles (SNPs) could be
used as a substitute for nondegradable inorganic nanoparticles in many advanced …

The surface modification is one of the most promising and discussed methods to improve the
boiling performance. To date there are a lot of techniques to modify a heating surface, but …

Research in the field of the evaporation of liquid droplets placed on surfaces with special
wetting properties such as biphilic surfaces is of great importance. This paper presents the …

The evolution of the morphology and composition of the single-crystal silicon surface
irradiated by infrared and visible nanosecond laser pulses is investigated as a function of …

In this work, membranes were synthesized by depositing fluoropolymer coatings onto metal
meshes using the hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HW CVD) method. By changing the …

This review aims to address the lack of theoretical understanding of wetting regimes for
various surfaces and highlight the physical insights of numerous wetting regimes and …

The spreading of the water droplets falling on surfaces with a contact angle from 0 to 160°
was investigated in this work. Superhydrophilicity of the surface is achieved by laser …

This paper aims to explore the effects of laser surface texturing and chemical modifications
by silanization on the wettability of silicon surfaces. To effectively prepare super …

With the attention to pollution and human health, nontoxic food grade superhydrophobic
coating as a strategy to reduce food waste has aroused wide interest. Herein, a food grade …

A technology has been developed for the synthesis of arrays of oriented microropes and
cocoon-like microstructures consisting of silicon oxide nanowires on a copper substrate with …
