Reversible Superhydrophobic–Superhydrophilic Transition of ZnO Nanorod/Epoxy Composite Films
TL;DR: A reversible transition of surface wettability was realized by alternation of UV illumination and surface treatment on a ZnO nanorod/epoxy composite film and the surface eventually became superhydrophilic because of UV induced decomposition of alkyl silanes and hydroxyl absorption on Zn O surfaces.

Artificial Compound Eyes Prepared by a Combination of Air-Assisted Deformation, Modified Laser Swelling, and Controlled Crystal Growth.
TL;DR: The results show that the addition of nanostructures on the surface effectively improved the water repellent performance with a contact angle (CA) of ∼160° and generally decreased the reflection by ∼25% in the wavelength range of 400-800 nm than the planar surface.

Photo-induced self-cleaning and sterilizing activity of Sm3+ doped ZnO nanomaterials.
TL;DR: The results showed that the hydrothermally treated 2.0 mol% Sm(3+)/ZnO film (S2) is the highly active one, and its optical, structural, morphology and photo-activity properties make it promising surface for self-cleaning and sterilizing applications.

TL;DR: The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part because of its large exciton binding energy (60meV) which could lead to lasing action based on exciton recombination even above room temperature.

On the Modeling of Hydrophobic Contact Angles on Rough Surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a design procedure to develop a rough superhydrophobic substrate that accounts for the multiple equilibrium drop shapes, which is expected to work well to maximize the advancing contact angle of a drop.
