Summary: A ZnO/ZnCl2 composite with stable 3D structural morphologies and long lasting superhydrophilicity was synthesized on a nanoPAA substrate. The water contact angle of the composite could be maintained at 0 degrees for 7 days and remained low even after 50 days. The superhydrophilicity mechanism was attributed to the properties of the ZnO/ZnCl2 nanofilm, wrinkled nanoflakes, nanogaps, and structural morphologies.

Summary: This study investigates the directional transportation of droplets using a mixed-wettability surface inspired by kingfishers' feathers. Experimental testing and numerical modelling show that the anisotropic surface can convert vertical impacting to horizontal droplets transport. The intensity and patterns of the thrown droplets are controlled by the wettability and surface offset location. The optimized surfaces can achieve a maximum horizontal transport distance of up to 6.2D0, with a first desorption time of only 7.8 ms. These findings have important implications for engineering designs in anti-icing, lubrication, and spray cooling applications.

Summary: Silicone nanoparticles were deposited onto melamine sponge and modified with polypyrrole and Au nanoparticles to fabricate highly saltresistant solar evaporators for stable long-term desalination and water harvesting. These solar evaporators have a superhydrophilic hull for water transport and solar desalination, and a superhydrophobic nucleus for reducing heat loss. They achieved spontaneous rapid salt exchange and reduction in salt concentration gradient due to ultrafast water transport and replenishment in the superhydrophilic hull with a hierachical micro-/nanostructure, effectively preventing salt deposition during interfacial solar-driven evaporation (ISE). These solar evaporators demonstrated long-term stable evaporation performance and the ability to collect fresh water without any salt precipitation.

Summary: The adhesion of liquid foods on their packaging materials has become a major concern due to the significant waste and pollution it causes. Food grade superhydrophobic coatings offer a promising solution, although their application has been limited by low mechanical stability and complex preparation methods. In this study, a food grade superhydrophobic coating was developed using edible paraffin wax, polydimethylsiloxane-modified attapulgite natural nanorods, and a food grade silicone adhesive. The coating exhibited good static and dynamic superhydrophobicity, as well as excellent mechanical and chemical stability. It also showed repellency towards various liquid foods, including hot ones, and could be applied to a wide range of food packaging materials. Therefore, the superhydrophobic coatings have great potential for anti-adhesion of liquid foods in the food packing industry.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
