Investigations on superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) are very interesting because of their
importance in many applications. One of the major applications of these SHS is to increase …

The wettability of solid surfaces is a renewed old topic that has impacted most fields of
science and technology for a long time, from cave painting in the ancient to microfluidic …

Oil-polluted water has become a worldwide problem due to increasing industrial oily
wastewater as well as frequent oil-spill pollution. Compared with underwater …

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 …

The lotus plant is recognized as a 'King plant'among all the natural water repellent plants
due to its excellent non-wettability. The superhydrophobic surfaces exhibiting the famous …

Although high-performance electromagnetic shields have been developed widely due to the
increased electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution, it is still desirable to construct novel …

Inspired by the self-cleaning and water-repellent properties of plants and animals in the
natural world, superhydrophobic and superoleophobic materials develop quickly, and are of …
