Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

BACKGROUND Surfaces that control solid, liquid, or vapor accretion have numerous
applications, including self-cleaning windows and solar panels; water and fog harvesting; …

Due to inspiration from the Nepenthes pitcher plant, a frontier of devices has emerged with
unmatched capabilities. Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs), particularly known for their liquid …

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

Liquid-infused surfaces (or lubricant-infused surfaces)(LIS) are a new class of functional
materials introduced in 2011. Their exceptional properties have earned them a place at the …

Liquid drops sliding on tilted surfaces is an everyday phenomenon and is important for many
industrial applications. Still, it is impossible to predict the drop's sliding velocity. To make a …

For the last decades, nanocomposites materials have been widely studied in the scientific
literature as they provide substantial properties enhancements, even at low nanoparticles …

Passive anti-icing surfaces, or icephobic surfaces, are an area of great interest because of
their significant economic, energy and safety implications in the prevention and easy …

Mussels are opportunistic macrofouling organisms that can attach to most immersed solid
surfaces, leading to serious economic and ecological consequences for the maritime and …
