The complicated flow behaviors of multiphase fluids in shale reservoirs are significantly
influenced by fluid-fluid and fluid-rock interactions due to the non-negligible intermolecular …

Solar energy-based devices are protected using glass surfaces that need to be cleaned
periodically to maintain their desired optimum performance. If these devices are large and …

Superhydrophobicity is a remarkable evolutionary adaption manifested by several natural
surfaces. Artificial superhydrophobic coatings with good mechanical robustness, substrate …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have shown versatile applications in waterproofing, self‐
cleaning, drag reduction, selective absorption, etc. The most convenient and universally …

Understanding and controlling the flow of water confined in nanopores has tremendous
implications in theoretical studies and industrial applications. Here, we propose a simple …

A gas in between micro-or nanostructures on a submerged superhydrophobic (SHPo)
surface allows the liquid on the structures to flow with an effective slip. If large enough, this …

In this study, we create a multifunctional metal surface by producing a hierarchical
nano/microstructure with femtosecond laser pulses. The multifunctional surface exhibits …

Scaling in membrane distillation (MD) is a key issue in desalination of concentrated saline
water, where the interface property between the membrane and the feed become critical. In …

This review gives an overview of recent advances in the potential applications of
superhydrophobic materials. Such properties are characterized by extremely high water …

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 …
