A gas in between micro-or nanostructures on a submerged superhydrophobic (SHPo)
surface allows the liquid on the structures to flow with an effective slip. If large enough, this …

Self-cleaning methods currently employed are based on understanding of the functions,
structures, and principles of various objects found in living nature. Three types of surfaces …

Background The importance of nanobubbles (NBs) is widely acknowledged, along with their
size and stability. NBs are tiny gas-filled cavities having unique physical characteristics …

To investigate the synergetic effects of laser texturing and super-hydrophobic coatings on
tribological performances, we prepare micro-grooves on steel substrates by femtosecond …

The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to develop
nanomaterials, nanodevices, and processes which provide desirable properties …

Advancements in the fabrication of microfluidic and nanofluidic devices and the study of
liquids in confined geometries rely on understanding the boundary conditions for the flow of …

This study presents a straightforward two-step fabrication process of durable, completely
superhydrophobic microchannels in PDMS. First, a composite material of PDMS/PTFE …

The boundary condition at the solid–liquid interface on the micro/nanoscale is an important
issue in micro/nanofluidic systems, where drag forces between fluids and solid walls need to …

Surface texturing is a promising way to reduce wear, but further improvements in wear
resistance via single textures remain challenging. Inspired by multiple biological surfaces …

Secondary organic aerosol formation via condensation of organic vapors onto existing
aerosol transforms the chemical composition and size distribution of ambient aerosol, with …
