Explaining Evaporation-Triggered Wetting Transition Using Local Force Balance Model and Contact Line-Fraction.
TL;DR: This work introduces force zones across the droplet base and uses a local force balance model to explain wetting transition on engineered nanoporous microstructures, utilizing a critical force per unit length (FPL) value, and establishes the concept of contact line-fraction theoretically and experimentally by relating it to area- fraction, which clarifies various arguments about the validity of the Cassie-Baxter equation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how to establish omniphobicity or liquid infiltration by controlling the surface morphology and the protective character of the pPFDA coating with the potential application of these surfaces for direct contact printing of microelectronic features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of superamphiphobic macrotextures on dynamics of viscous liquid droplets
TL;DR: Insight is provided on several possible outcomes of viscous droplets impacting on the macrotextured surfaces and a model that will help to design the desired superamphiphobic surfaces capable of exhibiting reduced contact time and enhanced repellency of low-temperature water droplets and other viscous liquids under different impacting conditions is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrathin, conformal, and low-surface energy layer of poly perfluorodecyl acrylate, poly(1H, 1H, 2H,2H-perfluorodecyl ACrylate) (pPFDA) is applied to the patterned vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs).
