Journal ArticleDOI
What do we need for a superhydrophobic surface? A review on the recent progress in the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces
TL;DR: This critical review focuses on the recent progress (within the last three years) in the preparation, theoretical modeling, and applications of superhydrophobic surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Creation of Superwetting/Antiwetting Surfaces
Xinjian Feng,Lei Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the recent achievements in the construction of surfaces with special wettabilities, such as superhydrophobicity, super-hydrophilicity and superoleophobicity, are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petal Effect: A Superhydrophobic State with High Adhesive Force
TL;DR: Artificial fabrication of biomimic polymer films, with well-defined nanoembossed structures obtained by duplicating the petal's surface, indicates that the superhydrophobic surface and the adhesive petal are in Cassie impregnating wetting state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progess in superhydrophobic surface development.
TL;DR: The origins of water-repellent surfaces are discussed, examining how size and shape of surface features are used to control surface characteristics, in particular how techniques have progressed to form multi-scaled roughness to mimic the lotus leaf effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Preparation of Porous Polymers
TL;DR: This work presents a new mesoporous composite material suitable for high-performance liquid chromatography and shows good chiral recognition ability and high uniformity in various racemates.

Super-hydrophobic surfaces: From natural to artificial
Lin Feng,Shuhong Li,Yingshun Li,Huanjun Li,Lingjuan Zhang,Jin Zhai,Yanlin Song,Biqian Liu,Lei Jiang,Daoben Zhu +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a super-hydrophobic surface with both a large contact angle (CA) and a small sliding angle (α) has been constructed from carbon nanotubes.

Adhesive force of a single gecko foot-hair
Kellar Autumn,Yiching A. Liang,S. Tonia Hsieh,Wolfgang Zesch,Wai Pang Chan,Thomas W. Kenny,Ronald S. Fearing,Robert J. Full +7 more
TL;DR: The first direct measurements of single setal force are reported by using a two-dimensional micro-electro-mechanical systems force sensor and a wire as a force gauge and revealed that a seta is ten times more effective at adhesion than predicted from maximal estimates on whole animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-cleaning surfaces - virtual realities
TL;DR: Key advances in the understanding and fabrication of surfaces with controlled wetting properties are about to make the dream of a contamination-free (or 'no-clean') surface come true.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of a simple plastic into a superhydrophobic surface.
TL;DR: This work describes a simple and inexpensive method for forming a superhydrophobic coating using polypropylene (a simple polymer) and a suitable selection of solvents and temperature to control the surface roughness.
