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 …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have diverse potential applications in catalysis, gas
storage, separation, and drug delivery because of their nanoscale periodicity, permanent …

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 …

Solar radiation, being an ample source of renewable energy can be captured and stored in
the form of latent heat using phase change materials (PCM) to make the environment …

A droplet depositing on a solid substrate leads to the wetting phenomenon, such as dew on
plant leaves. On an ideally smooth substrate, the classic Young's law has been employed to …

We review existing explanations for drop pinning and the origin of the force required to
initiate the sliding of a drop on a solid surface (depinning). Theories that describe these …

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

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 …

To better understand the wetting of cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), we
measured advancing and receding contact angles of sessile water drops on cross-linked …

Understanding the relationship between liquid manipulation and micro‐/nanostructured
interfaces has gained much attention due to the wide potential applications in many fields …
