Bubbles enable volumetric negative compressibility in metastable elastocapillary systems
Davide Caprini, Francesco Battista, Pawel Zajdel +11
Although coveted in applications, few materials expand when subject to compression or contract under decompression, i.e., exhibit the negative compressibility phenomenon. A key ste…
Heterogeneous cavitation from atomically smooth liquid-liquid interfaces
Patricia Pfeiffer, Meysam Shahrooz, Marco Tortora +5
Pressure reduction in liquids may result in vaporization and bubble formation. This thermodynamic process is termed cavitation. It is commonly observed in hydraulic machinery, ship…
Intrusion and extrusion of a liquid on nanostructured surfaces
Matteo Amabili, Alberto Giacomello, Simone Meloni +1
Superhydrophobicity is connected to the presence of gas pockets within surface asperities. Upon increasing the pressure this "suspended" state may collapse, causing the complete we…
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…
