Abstract

Lossless fast drop self-transport without even a microscopic liquid residue is achieved on an anisotropic omniphobic surface coated with unique liquid-like polymer brushes, as shown by Juan Li, Xuelin Tian, and co-workers in article number 1901417. Compared with conventional solid coatings, a liquid-like coating featuring highly flexible molecular chains can effectively suppress the formation of entrained liquid films and thereby facilitate the elimination of microscopic liquid residue.
