Open AccessProbing surface wetting across multiple force, length and time scales
Surface wetting is a multiscale phenomenon where properties at the macroscale are determined by features at much smaller length scales, such as nanoscale surface topographies. Traditionally, the wetting of sur...

Open AccessHydration lubrication of polyzwitterionic brushes leads to nearly friction- and adhesion-free droplet motion
Recently, there has been much progress in the design and application of oil-repellent superoleophobic surfaces. Polyzwitterionic brush surfaces are of particular interest, because of their ability to repel oil...
