Last couple of decades have witnessed massive upsurge in efforts of transporting and manipulating solutes and moieties in microfluidic devices. Classical pressure-driven transport demands massive pumping power for microchannels making it unusable in several microfluidic applications. Accordingly,...

Superhydrophobic Micro- and Nano-structured Surfaces: Fabrication, Wetting, and Evaporation
DownloadFall 2020
Water-repellent, superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces have attracted a remarkable interest in researchers for both purely academic pursuits and industrial applications, including nanofluidics and microfluidics, coatings, and drag reduction, due to their unique self-cleaning and drag reduction...
