Horizontal cylinders floating on liquid surfaces are mundanely observed, whose examples include the legs of aquatic arthropods and floating larvae, twigs and hairs. We study the force and energy required to lift the cylinder clear from the water surface, to evaluate the role of wettability, especially superhydrophobicity, in the adhesion of floating cylinders. We find that a drastic degree of e...
We report the synthesis of superhydrophobic coatings for steel using carbon nanotube (CNT)-mesh structures. The CNT coating maintains its structural integrity and superhydrophobicity even after exposure to extreme thermal stresses and has excellent thermal and electrical properties. The coating can also be reinforced by optimally impregnating the CNT-mesh structure with cross-linked polymers wi...
In some cases water droplets can completely wet microstructured superhydrophobic surfaces. The dynamics of this rapid process is analyzed by ultrahigh-speed imaging. Depending on the scales of the microstructure, the wetting fronts propagate smoothly and circularly or-more interestingly-in a stepwise manner, leading to a growing square-shaped wetted area: entering a new row perpendicular to the...
Most of the artificial superhydrophobic surfaces that have been fabricated to date are not biodegradable, renewable, or mechanically flexible and are often expensive, which limits their potential applications. In contrast, cellulose, a biodegradable, renewable, flexible, inexpensive, biopolymer which is abundantly present in nature, satisfies all the above requirements, but it is not superhydro...
The cuticles of the arthropods Collembola (springtails) are known to be superhydrophobic, displaying such properties as water-repellence and plastron formation; overhanging surface structures have been suggested as the source of these properties. Superhydrophobicity is closely related to surface structuring and other surfaces with overhanging structures have been shown to possess robust superhy...
Controllable modification of nanoparticles wettability allows both understanding fine physical mechanism acting on their surfaces, and improvement of key properties in a number of nanotechnology applications. The modification of nanoparticles generating superhydrophobic state arouses especially a strong interest, since various physical phenomena, such as such as sticking, agglomeration, frictio...
Evaporation of liquids on substrates is important for many applications including lab-on-a-chip, especially when they are in droplets. Unlike on planar substrates, droplet evaporation on micropatterned substrates has been studied only recently and none so far on nanopatterns. Driven by the applicability of nanostructured surfaces to biomaterials and tissue engineering, we report on the evaporat...
Without any catalysts or feeding source gases, highly crystalline Cr nanowires were directly synthesized on a flexible polymeric substrate using microwaves and the surface of the as-grown Cr nanowires showed superhydrophobicity.
