3D-Printed Surface Architecture Enhancing Superhydrophobicity and Viscous Droplet Repellency
Gustav Graeber, Oskar B. Martin Kieliger, Thomas M. Schutzius +1
Macro-textured superhydrophobic surfaces can reduce droplet-substrate contact times of impacting water droplets, however, surface designs with similar performance for significantly…
Cascade Freezing of Supercooled Water Droplet Collectives
Gustav Graeber, Valentin Dolder, Thomas M. Schutzius +1
Surface icing affects the safety and performance of numerous processes in technology. Previous studies mostly investigated freezing of individual droplets. The interaction among mu…
Imparting icephobicity with substrate flexibility
Thomas Vasileiou, Thomas M. Schutzius, Dimos Poulikakos
Ice accumulation hinders the performance of, and poses safety threats for infrastructure both on the ground and in the air. Previously, rationally designed superhydrophobic surface…
Detergency and its implications for oil emulsion sieving and separation
Thomas M. Schutzius, Christopher Walker, Tanmoy Maitra +9
Separating petroleum hydrocarbons from water is an important problem to address in order to mitigate the disastrous effects of hydrocarbons on aquatic ecosystems. A rational approa…
Sustaining dry surfaces under water
Paul R. Jones, Xiuqing Hao, Eduardo R. Cruz-Chu +9
Rough surfaces immersed under water remain practically dry if the liquid-solid contact is on roughness peaks, while the roughness valleys are filled with gas. Mechanisms that preve…
