Nowadays, superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted a lot of interest because of the wide
range of applications in industries. These surfaces can significantly reduce the drag force …

The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …

Superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces have been investigated vigorously since around 2000
due in large part to their unique potential for hydrodynamic frictional drag reduction without …

Superhydrophobicity on structured surfaces is frequently achieved via the maintenance of
liquid-air interfaces adjacent to the trapped air pockets. These interfaces, however, are …

Slippery surfaces have received great attention for more than a quarter-century. In particular,
during the last decade, interest has increased exponentially, resulting in thousands of …

After a long period of biological evolution, natural creatures will inevitably evolve body
surfaces suitable for the living environment. The functions of natural biological surfaces are …

Despite the confirmation of slip flows and successful drag reduction (DR) in small-scaled
laminar flows, the full impact of superhydrophobic (SHPo) DR remained questionable …

Despite two decades of research, drag reduction with superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces
has never been experimentally confirmed under the most coveted condition, ie, high …

Surface texture is regarded as a promising solution for enhancing the tribological features of
industrial materials due to its outstanding benefits, such as minimization of the contact area …

Membrane distillation (MD) has prominent advantages such as treating high-salinity
wastewater with a low-grade thermal energy, high salt rejection, and zero discharge …
