We investigate the transition between the Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states of a slowly evaporating, micron-scale drop on a superhydrophobic surface. In two dimensions analytical results show that there are two collapse mechanisms. For long…
Recent experiments by Kavousanakis et al., Langmuir, 2018 [1], showed that reversible electrowetting on superhydrophobic surfaces can be achieved by using a thick solid dielectric layer (e.g. tens of micrometers). It has also been shown,…
Liquid drops on textured surfaces show different dynamical behaviors depending on their wetting states. They are extremely mobile when they are supported by composite solid-liquid-air interfaces (Cassie-Baxter state) and immobile when they…
The ability to control wettability is important for a wide range of technological applications in which precise microfluidic handling is required. It is known that predesigned roughness at a micro- or nano- scale enhances the wetting…
The water-repellence properties of superhydrophobic surfaces make them promising for many applications. However, in some extreme environments, such as high humidities and low temperatures, condensation on the surface is inevitable, which…
The superhydrophobic leaves of a lotus plant and other natural surfaces with self-cleaning function have been studied intensively for the development of artificial biomimetic surfaces. Surface roughness generated by hierarchical structures…
We investigate directly at the microscale the morphology of the electrowetting induced transition between the Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states for a water droplet on a superhydrophobic surface. Our experiments demonstrate that the transition…
We use a free energy lattice Boltzmann approach to investigate numerically the dynamics of drops moving across superhydrophobic surfaces. The surfaces comprise a regular array of posts small compared to the drop size. For drops suspended on…
The Cassie-Baxter state droplet has many local energy minima on the textured surface, while the amount of the energy barrier between them can be affected by the gravity. When the droplet cannot find any local energy minimum point on the…
Micro-patterned surfaces have attracted significant attention in numerous applications owing to their potential to enhance hydrophobic and icephobic properties. A Cassie state of final wetting of a droplet upon impact on a micro-patterned…
Superantiwettability, including superhydrophobicity, is an enhanced effect of surface ruggedness via the Cassie-Baxter wetting state, and has many applications such as antifouling, drop manipulation, and self-cleaning. However,…
Superrepellency is a favorable non-wetting situation featured by a dramatically reduced solid/liquid contact region with extremely low adhesion. However, drop impact often brings out a notable extension of the contact region associated with…
Super-antiwettability is an extreme situation of wetting where liquids stay at the tops of rough surfaces, in the so-called Cassie state1. Owing to the dramatic reduction of solid/liquid contact, it has many applications, such as…
The fundamental impacts of surface geometry on the stability of wetting states, and the transitions between them are elucidated for posts and reentrant structures in both two and three dimensions. We identify three principal outcomes of…
As the simplest model of transition between the superhydrophobic Cassie-Baxter (CB) and Wenzel (W) states of a macroscopic droplet sitting on a microscopically rough or corrugated substrate, a substrate whose surface is covered by identical…
Droplets on rough surfaces can exhibit various stationary states that are crucial for designing hydrophobic materials and enabling directional liquid transport. Here we introduce a phase-field saddle dynamics method to construct the…
Superhydrophobic Cassie textures with trapped gas bubbles reduce drag, by generating large effective slip, which is important for a variety of applications that involve a manipulation of liquids at the small scale. Here we discuss how the…
Superhydrophobicity is connected to the presence of gas pockets within surface asperities. Upon increasing the pressure this "suspended" state may collapse, causing the complete wetting of the rough surface. In order to quantitatively…
Water condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces can generate spontaneous droplet jumping, enabling rapid condensate removal and improved thermal and mass transfer. Although this effect has been extensively demonstrated on densely packed…
This work designs a model named POST based on the Vision Transformer (ViT) approach. Across single, double, and even triple lattices, as well as various non-circular complex hole structures, POST enables prediction of multiple optical…
