Flexible superhydrophobic gold film for magnetical manipulation of droplets

Design of Waterborne Superhydrophobic Fabrics with High Impalement Resistance and Stretching Stability by Constructing Elastic Reconfigurable Micro-/Micro-/Nanostructures

“…22−25 In spite of impressive progress, 19,26−28 ceramics, and metals), but are not applicable on soft substrates with a low melting point like fabrics. [22][23][24]26 Moreover, the impalement resistance needs to be further enhanced, as the existing studies mainly demonstrated good impalement resistance with short impact time (tens of seconds or even less) or under relatively low water pressure (hydrostatic or dynamic). The stability of the air cushion depends on both water pressure and duration.…”

“…The wetted surfaces cannot recover the Cassie–Baxter state without external stimuli . To achieve high impalement resistance, many methods such as nanocasting, femtosecond laser ablation, liquid flame spray, and plasma spraying have been used to regulate the surface texture. − In spite of impressive progress, ,− the existing methods are mainly suitable for forming surface textures on hard substrates (e.g., silicon, ceramics, and metals), but are not applicable on soft substrates with a low melting point like fabrics. − , Moreover, the impalement resistance needs to be further enhanced, as the existing studies mainly demonstrated good impalement resistance with short impact time (tens of seconds or even less) or under relatively low water pressure (hydrostatic or dynamic).
