Liquid-repellent surfaces, especially smooth solid surfaces with covalently grafted flexible
polymer brushes or alkyl monolayers, are the focus of an expanding research area. Surface …

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 …

Water drops moving on surfaces are not only an everyday phenomenon seen on windows
but also form an essential part of many industrial processes. Previous understanding is that …

interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

Liquid drops sliding on tilted surfaces is an everyday phenomenon and is important for many
industrial applications. Still, it is impossible to predict the drop's sliding velocity. To make a …

In recent years, a great many wonderful works on fluorine-free superhydrophobic coatings
have been reported. However, the detailed review is rare. Herein, the research progress on …

Coatings with low sliding angles for liquid drops have a broad range of applications.
However, it remains a challenge to have a fast, easy, and universal preparation method for …

Despite the significant progress in fundamental research in the physics of atmospheric icing
or the revolutionary changes in modern materials and coatings achieved due to the recent …

While superhydrophobic structured surfaces have been studied extensively, they do not
readily repel low surface tension liquids. Recently developed liquid and liquid-like surfaces …

Lubricant-impregnated surfaces are two-component surface coatings. One component, a
fluid called the lubricant, is stabilized at a surface by the second component, the scaffold …
