Enhanced Condensation on Soft Materials through Bulk Lubricant Infusion (Adv. Funct. Mater. 17/2022)
Source abstract
Abstract
Bulk Lubricant Infusion In article number 2109633, Dimos Poulikakos and co-workers show that bulk lubricant infusion in soft materials can significantly increase condensate droplet shedding through a large reduction in viscoelastic dissipation, while simultaneously promoting high droplet nucleation density. This behavior markedly enhances water condensation and promotes the suitability of such materials for passive water harvesting.
