Summary: The wetting phase diagrams for model systems consisting of water and chemically modified graphite surfaces with grafted chain molecules were explored using the density functional approach. The topology of the phase diagram was found to depend on the amount and length of grafted chains.

Summary: This study investigates the motion of small drops of polymeric fluids deposited on inclined lubricated surfaces. It is found that drops of sufficiently elastic fluids move downward with an oscillating instantaneous speed. The oscillatory motion is caused by the formation of a bulge at the rear of the drop, which will be dragged along the drop free contour by the rolling motion undergone by the drop.

Summary: This study characterizes the impact of adding SiO2 particles to engineered surfaces for boiling enhancement, showing moderate improvement in critical heat flux but deterioration in heat transfer coefficient due to particle clogging. Various surfaces exhibited unique degradation mechanisms, with some showing size-dependent degradation of HTC and others showing degradation independent of particle size.

Summary: A parameter-free bridge functional using a weighted density approximation (WDA) has been developed, which determines the free energy density in a self-consistent manner and allows for the use of any potential model. This method has been applied to calculate density distribution functions for inhomogeneous fluids interacting via different potentials under external fields.

Summary: The use of highly slippery lubricated surfaces can facilitate the movement of high-viscosity YSF droplets. The droplets slide on the lubricated surfaces and roll down when their descending speed increases, especially at high inclinations and low concentrations.

Summary: This paper describes a simple and green approach to fabricate composite membranes using self-assembled polydopamine thin films and two different biopolymers at the air/water interface. It is found that the polydopamine thin films have abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups which enable in situ decoration of gold nanoparticles on the membrane surface, providing plasmonic features. Additionally, surface patterning of polydopamine layers using self-assembled templating structures is demonstrated, offering new perspectives for biocompatible functional membranes with tunable optical and spectroscopic properties. Finally, it is demonstrated that the obtained functional surfaces are promising tools for fabricating SERS substrates.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the wetting differences between Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids on microstructured surfaces. The results showed that the relationship between the dynamic contact angle and moving velocity differed for different microstructured surfaces for these fluids. The differences were influenced by variations in viscosity and elasticity, while the scale of microstructured surfaces had little effect.

Summary: A mathematical model is proposed to analyze the effect of interfacial nanolayers on heat and mass transfer processes in nanofluid flow. The presence of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in a biological fluid is investigated, and a phase simulation is developed based on Brownian and thermophoresis factors. Optimal nanoparticles in the range of 2-8% have a significant effect on thermal conductivity and the thermal performance of the blood flow system.

Summary: In this work, the authors demonstrate the simultaneous patterning of fibers and fabrication of functional 2D and 3D shapes using a one-step electrospinning process. The use of mesh templates allows for preferential attraction of electrospun fibers to metal protrusions, resulting in a patterned mat that mimics a woven mesh. This approach offers potential applications in personalized wound care and surgical meshes.

Summary: This study proposes a capillary-force-driven self-assembly strategy for bionic three-dimensional (3D) functional surfaces. Programmable self-assembly of micropillars is achieved by tailoring their spatial arrangement and geometric parameters, and the functions of selective capture and release of microparticles are demonstrated. The programmable capillary-force-driven self-assembly of micropillars is also extended to 3D bionic curved surfaces with various applications.
