Collapse of superhydrophobicity on nanopillared surfaces
Matteo Amabili, Alberto Giacomello, Simone Meloni +1
The mechanism of the collapse of the superhydrophobic state is elucidated for submerged nanoscale textures forming a three-dimensional interconnected vapor domain. This key issue f…
Wetting and cavitation pathways on nanodecorated surfaces
Matteo Amabili, Emanuele Lisi, Alberto Giacomello +1
In this contribution we study wetting and nucleation of vapor bubbles on nanodecorated surfaces via free energy molecular dynamics simulations. The results shed light on the stabil…
Unraveling the Salvinia paradox: design principles for submerged superhydrophobicity
Matteo Amabili, Alberto Giacomello, Simone Meloni +1
The complex structure of the Salvinia molesta is investigated via rare event molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that a hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning together with a…
