Superhydrophobic surfaces hold great prospects for extremely diverse applications owing to
their water repellence property. The essential feature of superhydrophobicity is micro-/nano …

Passive anti-icing surfaces, or icephobic surfaces, are an area of great interest because of
their significant economic, energy and safety implications in the prevention and easy …

Supercooled droplet freezing on surfaces occurs frequently in nature and industry, often
adversely affecting the efficiency and reliability of technological processes. The ability of …

A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are actively studied across a wide range of applications and
industries, and are now finding increased use in the biomedical arena as substrates to …

Engineering surfaces that promote rapid drop detachment, is of importance to a wide range
of applications including anti-icing,,, dropwise condensation and self-cleaning,,. Here we …

A falling liquid drop, after impact on a rigid substrate, deforms and spreads, owing to the
normal reaction force. Subsequently, if the substrate is nonwetting, the drop retracts and …

Surfaces designed so that drops do not adhere to them but instead bounce off have received
substantial attention because of their ability to stay dry,,,, self-clean,, and resist icing,,. A drop …

Undesired ice accumulation leads to severe economic issues and, in some cases, loss of
lives. Although research on anti-icing has been carried out for decades, environmentally …

Superhydrophobic materials have been widely reported throughout the scientific literature.
Their properties originate from a highly rough morphology and inherently water repellent …
