An aerophilic surface made from a commonly used and inexpensive titanium alloy with a long-lasting plastron keeps dry during hundreds of dunks in a petri dish of blood. Credit: Alexander B. Tesler/Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-NürnbergCurrent techniques to assess artificially made superhydrophobic surfaces only take into account two parameters, which don’t give enough information about the stability of the air plastron underwater. Aizenberg, Jaakko V. I. Timonen and Robin H.
“We used a characterization method that had been suggested by theorists 20 years ago to prove that our surface is stable, which means that not only have we made a novel type of extremely repellent, extremely durable superhydrophobic surface, but we can also have a pathway of doing it again with a different material,” said Tesler, a former postdoctoral fellow at SEAS and the Wyss Institute, and lead author of the paper.

Researchers develop new mechanism to create water-repellent surfacesResearchers have developed a new mechanism to make water droplets slip off surfaces, and describe it in a paper published in Nature Chemistry. The discovery challenges existing ideas about friction between solid surfaces and water and opens up a new avenue for studying droplet slipperiness at the molecular level.
