2023年4月1日 · In the following, existing natural hydrophobic surfaces, artificial surfaces, hybrid surfaces, manufacturing methods for SH surfaces, manufacturing constraints, and the characteristics of SH surfaces that render the surfaces useful in the petrochemical industry are described in detail.

2020年6月3日 · Here we show that robust superhydrophobicity can be realized by structuring surfaces at two different length scales, with a nanostructure design to provide water repellency and a microstructure...

2016年4月8日 · In applications, a superhydrophobic surface may be exposed to rubbing of materials with varying hardness, texture, and resilience. Milionis et al. suggested testing a large combination of properties with a set of three materials—textile, rubber, and …

Empirical models are described in order to reveal the science behind special wettable surfaces (superhydrophobic /superhydrophilic). Materials and methods used in order to artificially obtain special wettable surfaces are described in correlation with plants’ and animals’ unique features.

Inspired by the superhydrophobic properties of some plants and animals with special structures, such as self-cleaning, water repellent, and drag reduction, the research on the basic theory and practical applications of superhydrophobic surfaces is increasing.

2024年1月3日 · Superhydrophobic surfaces find extensive applications in various fields, including self-cleaning, liquid manipulation, anti-icing, and water harvesting. To achieve superhydrophobicity, the surfaces are designed with hierarchical nano- …

2018年1月4日 · In this article, the fundamental principles of superhydrophobicity, some of the recent works in the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces, their potential applications, and the challenges confronted in their new applications are reviewed and discussed.

2019年9月9日 · modeling, experimental practices adopted, and applications of superhydrophobic surfaces. First, we revisit various classical models of superhydrophobicity and recent theoretical advances achieved related to the wetting phenomena.

2024年1月8日 · Inspired by the “lotus effect,” superhydrophobic surfaces have been engineered to repel water with unparalleled efficiency. 1 More specifically, low adhesion superhydrophobic surfaces, defined by a large water contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis, ease self-removal of liquids and particles from the surface through droplet rolling ...

In this feature article, we review the historical and present research on superhydrophobic surfaces, including the characterization of superhydrophobicity, different ways to fabricate rough surfaces, and low-surface-energy modifications on inorganic and organic rough surfaces.
