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 speed at which a liquid can move over a solid surface is strongly limited when a three-
phase contact line is present, separating wet from dry regions. When enforcing large contact …

We report that graphene coatings do not significantly disrupt the intrinsic wetting behaviour
of surfaces for which surface–water interactions are dominated by van der Waals forces. Our …

Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

Ag 2 O–Ag-porous silicon Bragg mirror (PSB) composite SERS substrates were successfully
synthesized by using a combination of electrochemical and thermochemical methods. Test …

The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

The operation of a piezo inkjet printhead involves a chain of processes in many physical
domains at different length scales. The final goal is the formation of droplets of all kinds of …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

The hairy attachment system on a gecko's toes, consisting of one billion spatulae in the case
of Gekko gecko [Ruibal, R. & Ernst, V.(1965) J. Morphol. 117, 271–294], allows it to adhere …
