Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have emerged as a unique approach to
creating surfaces that can resist fouling when placed in contact with aqueous media, organic …

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) show remarkable liquid repellency, making
them useful for many coating applications. The outstanding repellency of SLIPS comes from …

Drops in contact with swollen, elastomeric substrates can induce a capillary mediated phase
separation in wetting ridges. Using confocal microscopy, we visualize phase separation of …

The cloaking of the droplet and solid spheres by a thin ferrofluid layer forms a ferrofluid-
wetting ridge, enabling the magnet-assisted directional manipulation of droplets and solid …

Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) have attracted tremendous attention in recent years owing to
their excellent surface properties, such as self-cleaning and anti-fouling. Understanding the …

Silicone is frequently used as a model system to investigate and tune wetting on soft
materials. Silicone is biocompatible and shows excellent thermal, chemical, and UV stability …

We numerically study drop impact on slippery lubricated surfaces at varied impact speeds to
comprehend the cloaking of the water drop by the lubricant. We employ a multi-material and …

Controlling the impact process of a droplet impacting a liquid film has remained a wide-open
challenge. The existing passive techniques lack precise on-demand control of the impact …

The thermocapillary motion of both cloaked and non-cloaked droplets on slippery liquid-
infused porous surface were investigated experimentally. The effect of droplet radius …

Understanding interfacial behavior at the water/silicone elastomer interface is vital in many
applications, including microfluidics, antibiofouling, and self-cleaning surfaces. Silicone …
