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…
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…
Exceptional Anti-Icing Performance of Self-Impregnating Slippery Surfaces
Christos Stamatopoulos, Jaroslav Hemrle, Danhong Wang +1
A heat exchange interface at subzero temperature in a water vapor environment, exhibits high probability of frost formation due to freezing condensation, a factor that markedly dec…
