Comment on “Vapor Lubrication for Reducing Water and Ice Adhesion on Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Brushes”: Vapor Alteration Alone Reduces Water Droplet Adhesion
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A reduction in lateral adhesion of water droplets on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) brush surfaces exposed to various vapor conditions was recently reported. It was suggested that the mobility of droplets is due to swelling of the PDMS brushes. When changing the vapor surrounding sliding droplets on bare surfaces, a similar phenomenon is observed, presenting a much simpler explanation of the observed results.
