Electrospinning is a significant micro/nanofiber processing technology and has been rapidly
develo** in the past 2 decades. It has several applications, including advanced sensing …

We discuss in this review how the roughness of a solid impacts its wettability. We see in
particular that both the apparent contact angle and the contact angle hysteresis can be …

Super‐hydrophobic surfaces, with a water contact angle (CA) greater than 150°, have
attracted much interest for both fundamental research and practical applications. Recent …

Photocatalysis has recently become a common word and various products using
photocatalytic functions have been commercialized. Among many candidates for …

Titanium dioxides (TiO 2) have been widely studied, due to its interesting general properties
in a wide range of fields including catalysis, photocatalysis, and antibacterial agents and in …

Understanding the complementary roles of surface energy and roughness on natural
nonwetting surfaces has led to the development of a number of biomimetic …

In the 19th century, Oscar Wilde stated “We live, I regret to say, in an age of surfaces”. Today,
we do so even more, and we do not regret it: key advances in the understanding and …

Superhydrophobicity is the tendency of a surface to repel water drops. A surface is qualified
as a superhydrophobic surface only if the surface possesses a high apparent contact angle …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have drawn a lot of interest both in academia and in industry
because of the self-cleaning properties. This critical review focuses on the recent progress …

We use nanoparticle− polymer composites to demonstrate the anti-icing capability of
superhydrophobic surfaces and report direct experimental evidence that such surfaces are …
