Superhydrophobicity is the tendency of a surface to repel water drops. A surface is qualified
as a superhydrophobic surface only if the surface possesses a high apparent contact angle …

The last decade has brought a number of new results related to the thermodynamic
fundamentals of surface science. Increasing the generality and rigor of known methods and …

In this review we examine the influence of the line tension τ on droplets and particles at
surfaces. The line tension influences the nucleation behavior and contact angle of liquid …

We analyze two representative systems containing a three-phase-contact line: a liquid lens
at a fluid-fluid interface and a liquid drop in contact with a gas phase residing on a solid …

The dependence of the contact angle on the size of a nanoscopic droplet residing on a flat
substrate is traditionally ascribed solely to line tension. Other contributions, stemming from …

Chemically bonded phosphate ceramic coatings (FCBPC) modified with organic-inorganic
hybrid nano alumina (FAS-Al 2 O 3) were prepared. The effects of FAS-Al 2 O 3 on the …

Aluminum dihydrogen phosphate (AP) is modified through organic-inorganic in-situ
hybridization and employed as a binder to prepare the chemically bonded phosphate …

We introduce a methodology, referred to as the dry-surface method, to calculate the work of
adhesion of heterogeneous solid–liquid interfaces by molecular simulation. This method …

The purpose of this study is to provide an effective solution for improving the mechanical
strength and corrosion resistance of cold sprayed zinc (CSZ) coating. In this paper, a …
