Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

Contact angle hysteresis is an important physical phenomenon. It is omnipresent in nature
and also plays a crucial role in various industrial processes. Despite its relevance, there is a …

The surface wettability of biomaterials determines the biological cascade of events at the
biomaterial/host interface. Wettability is modulated by surface characteristics, such as …

Contact angle methods are widely used to evaluate the wettability of cellulose-based
surfaces and to judge their suitability for different applications. Wettability affects ink …

Droplet and bubble wettability are important parameters for characterizing the wetting
propensity of solid surface. Recent studies have shown significant differences between the …

This article addresses the elegant and green approach for fabrication of bio-based poly
(lactic acid)(PLA)/cellulose nanocrystal (CNCs) bionanocomposite foam (PLA/CNC) with …

Two-phase interface fluid, bubble or droplet, has shown broad application potential in oil
and gas field development, contaminated soil remediation, and medical treatment. These …

Hypothesis: Quantitative characterization of surface wettability through contact angle (CA)
measurement using the sessile droplet (SD) or captive bubble (CB) methods is often limited …

Reactive superhydrophobic surfaces are highly promising for biotechnological, analytical,
sensor, or diagnostic applications but are difficult to realize due to their chemical inertness …

Dental composites are becoming increasingly popular in esthetic restorative dentistry and
present a promising substitute for amalgam. However, the major hurdles that hinder their …
