Superhydrophobic/superoleophilic magnetic elastomers by laser ablation
Athanasios Milionis, Despina Fragouli, Fernando Brandi +4
We report the development of magnetic nanocomposite sheets with superhydrophobic and superoleophilic surfaces generated by laser ablation. Polydimethylsiloxane elastomer freestandi…
Durable, ultrathin, and antifouling polymer brush coating for efficient condensation heat transfer
Shuai Li, Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Matteo Donati +9
Heat exchangers are made of metals because of their high heat conductivity and mechanical stability. Metal surfaces are inherently hydrophilic, leading to inefficient filmwise cond…
Condensate droplet roaming on nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces
Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Kartik Regulagadda, Matteo Donati +5
Jumping of coalescing condensate droplets from superhydrophobic surfaces is an interesting phenomenon which yields marked heat transfer enhancement over the more explored gravity-d…
Out-of-Plane Biphilic Surface Structuring for Enhanced Capillary-Driven Dropwise Condensation
Luca Stendardo, Athanasios Milionis, George Kokkoris +5
Rapid and sustained condensate droplet departure from a surface is key towards achieving high heat transfer rates in condensation, a physical process critical to a broad range of i…
Measuring the complexity of micro and nanostructured surfaces
A. Arapis, V. Constantoudis, D. Kontziampasis +5
Nanostructured surfaces usually exhibit complicated morphologies that cannot be described in terms of Euclidean geometry. Simultaneously, they do not constitute fully random noise…
Enhancing condensation on soft substrates through bulk lubricant infusion
Chander Shekhar Sharma, Athanasios Milionis, Abhinav Naga +9
Soft substrates such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) enhance droplet nucleation during the condensation of water vapour, because their deformability inherently reduces the energetic…
Ultra-Thin Lubricant-Infused Vertical Graphene Nanoscaffolds for High-Performance Dropwise Condensation
Abinash Tripathy, Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Diana Davila +4
Lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) are highly efficient in repelling water and constitute a very promising family of materials for condensation processes occurring in a broad range o…
Sprayable Thin and Robust Carbon Nanofiber Composite Coating for Extreme Jumping Dropwise Condensation Performance
Matteo Donati, Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Athanasios Milionis +4
Condensation of water on metallic surfaces is critical for multiple energy conversion processes. Enhancement in condensation heat transfer efficiency often requires surface texturi…
Desublimation Frosting on Nanoengineered Surfaces
Christopher Walker, Sebastian Lerch, Matthias Reininger +4
Ice nucleation from vapor presents a variety of challenges across a wide range of industries and applications including refrigeration, transportation, and energy generation. Howeve…
Contactless Transport and Mixing of Liquids on Self-Sustained Sublimating Coatings
Athanasios Milionis, Carlo Antonini, Stefan Jung +3
The controlled handling of liquids and colloidal suspensions as they interact with surfaces, targeting a broad palette of related functionalities, is of great importance in science…
