Designing Superoleophobic Surfaces
Anish Tuteja,Wonjae Choi,Minglin Ma,Joseph M. Mabry,Sarah A. Mazzella,Gregory C. Rutledge,Gareth H. McKinley,Robert E. Cohen +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown how a third factor, re-entrant surface curvature, in conjunction with chemical composition and roughened texture, can be used to design surfaces that display extreme resistance to wetting from a number of liquids with low surface tension, including alkanes such as decane and octane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superhydrophobic Carbon Nanotube Forests
Kenneth K. S. Lau,José Bico,Kenneth B. K. Teo,Manish Chhowalla,Gehan A. J. Amaratunga,William I. Milne,Gareth H. McKinley,Karen K. Gleason +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the creation of a stable, superhydrophobic surface using the nanoscale roughness inherent in a vertically aligned carbon nanotube forest together with a thin conformal hydrophobic poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) coating on the surface of the nanotubes was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust omniphobic surfaces
TL;DR: Four design parameters are proposed that predict the measured contact angles for a liquid droplet on a textured surface, as well as the robustness of the composite interface, based on the properties of the solid surface and the contacting liquid, that allow two different families of re-entrant surfaces to be produced.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of nonlinear oscillatory shear tests: Analysis and application of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS)
Kyu Hyun,Manfred Wilhelm,Christopher O. Klein,Kwang Soo Cho,Jung Gun Nam,Kyung Hyun Ahn,Seung Jong Lee,Randy H. Ewoldt,Gareth H. McKinley +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the typical nonlinear responses observed with complex fluids under LAOS deformations and compare several methods that quantify the nonlinear oscillatory stress response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet mobility on lubricant-impregnated surfaces
J. David Smith,Rajeev Dhiman,Sushant Anand,Ernesto Reza-Garduno,Robert E. Cohen,Gareth H. McKinley,Kripa K. Varanasi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the fundamental physico-chemical hydrodynamics that arise when droplets, immiscible with the lubricant, are placed on and allowed to move along these surfaces.
