Stood-up drop to measure receding contact angles
Diego Díaz, Aman Bhargava, Franziska Walz +9
The wetting behavior of drops on natural and industrial surfaces is determined by the advancing and receding contact angles. They are commonly measured by the sessile drop techniqu…
Contact line friction of bubbles
Xicheng Bao, Aaron D. Ratschow, Xiaoteng Zhou +9
Contact line friction (CLF) of bubbles is ubiquitous, from bubbles on a beer glass to H2 bubbles sliding over electrodes in electrolysis. However, a fundamental understanding of CL…
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…
Experimental Study of Condensation of Water on Polydimethylsiloxane-Coated Copper Surfaces
Till Pfeiffer, Shuai Li, Michael Kappl +3
Modification of surfaces to enable dropwise condensation is a promising approach for achieving high condensation rates. In this work, we present an experimental study on condensati…
Interactions Between a Responsive Microgel Monolayer and a Rigid Colloid: From Soft to Hard Interfaces
Steffen Bochenek, Cathy E. McNamee, Michael Kappl +2
Responsive poly-N-isopropylacrylamide-based microgels are commonly used as model colloids with soft repulsive interactions. It has been shown that the microgel-microgel interaction…
Hybrid Surface Patterns Mimicking the Design of the Adhesive Toe Pad of Tree Frog
Longjian Xue, Belén Sanz, Aoyi Luo +10
Biological materials achieve directional reinforcement with oriented assemblies of anisotropic building blocks. One such example is the nanocomposite structure of keratinized epith…
