A droplet deposited on a solid substrate leads to the wetting phenomenon. A natural
observation is the lotus effect, known for its superhydrophobicity. This special feature is …

Driven by the development of new functional inks, inkjet‐printed electronics has achieved
several milestones upon moving from the integration of simple electronic elements (eg …

Evaporation of liquid is important in a diverse range of engineering applications, such as ink-
jet printing, pesticide spraying, micro-and nanofabrication, thin-film coatings, biochemical …

We report the effect of airborne hydrocarbon contamination on the water wettability of
graphite. Graphite is traditionally known to be hydrophobic with water contact angle (WCA) …

Durability is a long-standing challenge in designing liquid-repellent surfaces. A high-
performance omniphobic surface must robustly repel liquids, while maintaining …

Understanding the interactions between liquids and solids is important for many areas of
science and technology. Microtextured surfaces have been extensively studied in …

The ordinary superhydrophobic coating exhibits insufficient anti-icing properties in the low
temperature and high humidity environment and poor corrosion resistance after long-term …

Aerosol jet printing (AJP) is a promising noncontact direct ink writing technology that
enables flexible and conformal electronic devices to be fabricated onto planar and …

In this paper, a three-dimensional symmetric lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is built up to
investigate evaporation of a sessile droplet on pillar structured surfaces. Parametric effects …

Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted great interest from fundamental
research to engineering applications. The stability, design, and regulation of …
