Wettability: Recent Advances in TiO2‐Based Nanostructured Surfaces with Controllable Wettability and Adhesion (Small 16/2016)
Source abstract
Abstract
Bioinspired surfaces with superwettability have attracted great interest in both fundamental research and industry applications. Recent progress in superhydrophobic TiO2-based surfaces with high contrast in solid/liquid adhesion is reviewed on page 2203 by Y. K. Lai, L. F. Chi and co-workers. In addition, the significant applications related to super-wetting/antiwetting surfaces with controllable adhesion are summarized, e.g., self-cleaning, friction reduction, anti-fogging/icing, microfluidic manipulation, fog/water collection, oil/water separation, anti-bioadhesion, and micro templates for patterning. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects of this renascent and rapidly developing field are proposed and discussed.
