Organogels are an important class of gels, and are comparable to hydrogels owing to their
properties as liquid‐infused soft materials. Despite the extensive choice of liquid media and …

In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

Liquid-infused surfaces (or lubricant-infused surfaces)(LIS) are a new class of functional
materials introduced in 2011. Their exceptional properties have earned them a place at the …

The research on superwetting surfaces with a self-healing function against various damages
has progressed rapidly in the recent decade. They are expected to be an effective approach …

Superwettability is a special case of the wetting phenomenon among liquids, gases, and
solids. The superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic effect discovered initially has undergone a …

The mitigation of environmental effects on clean-energy technology is an area of increasing
interest. Photovoltaic (PV) modules have been widely used in small and large-scale …

Recent strategies to prepare “omniphobic” surfaces have demonstrated that minimizing
contact angle hysteresis (CAH) is the key criterion for effectiveness. CAH is affected by …

Through 3.7 billion years of evolution and natural selection, plants and animals in nature
have ingeniously fulfilled a broad range of fascinating functions to achieve optimized …

As a kind of important semi-solid material, the gel has gained increasing attention due to the
high demand for fundamental research and practical applications. Organogels are gels …

Bioinspired lubricant‐infused surfaces exhibit various unique properties attributed to their
liquid‐like and molecularly smooth nature. Excellent liquid repellency and “slippery” …
