Condensation and Wetting Behavior on Surfaces With Micro-Structures: Super-Hydrophobic and Super-Hydrophilic
Recently it has become possible to achieve radical manipulation of surface wettability, and wettability is known to play a key role in the retention of condensate and frost melt on heat exchanger surfaces. In this paper we present a review of methods to produce such surfaces, and we describe a super-hydrophobic surface, with a contact angle of 148°, created in our lab. We describe surfaces with...
متن کاملImportance of hierarchical structures in wetting stability on submersed superhydrophobic surfaces.
Submersed superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit great potential for reducing flow resistance in microchannels and drag of submersed bodies. However, the low stability of liquid-air interfaces on those surfaces limits the scope of their application, especially under high liquid pressure. In this paper, we first investigate the wetting states on submersed hydrophobic surfaces with one-level structure...
متن کاملBioinspired surfaces with special wettability.
Biomimetic research indicates that many phenomena regarding wettability in nature, such as the self-cleaning effect on a lotus leaf and cicada wing, the anisotropic dewetting behavior on a rice leaf, and striking superhydrophobic force provided by a water strider's leg, are all related to the unique micro- and nanostructures on the surfaces. It gives us much inspiration to realize special wetta...
متن کاملNanostructures in superhydrophobic Ti6Al4V hierarchical surfaces control wetting state transitions.
This paper mainly reports the wetting state of liquid droplets on a Ti6Al4V micro-nanoscale hierarchical structured hydrophobic surface. In this work, the detailed action mechanism of the secondary nanostructure in the hierarchical structure on the wetting-state transition (from the Wenzel state to the Cassie state) was revealed and discussed. The variation of micro-morphology of the sample sur...
متن کاملEffect of roughness geometry on wetting and dewetting of rough PDMS surfaces.
Rough PDMS surfaces comprising 3 μm hemispherical bumps and cavities with pitches ranging from 4.5 to 96 μm have been fabricated by photolithographic and molding techniques. Their wetting and dewetting behavior with water was studied as model for print surfaces used in additive manufacturing and printed electronics. A smooth PDMS surface was studied as control. For a given pitch, both bumpy and...
