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

Fast advancements of microfabrication processes in past two decades have reached to a
fairly matured stage that we can manufacture a wide range of microfluidic devices. At …

Although a molecular monolayer is only a few nanometers thick it can completely change
the properties of a surface. Molecular monolayers can be readily prepared using the …

Over the past decade, a new class of slippery, anti-adhesive surfaces known as slippery
covalently-attached liquid surfaces (SCALS) has emerged, characterized by low values of …

In many fields and applications, a good knowledge of the wetting behaviour of solvents on a
surface is crucial. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have enabled improved control over …

Ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were functionalized with a variety of silanes bearing
