Summary: The control of surface wettability is crucial in various industrial fields, and a facile plasma deposition method is suggested in this work to achieve superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces by introducing additive gases. The addition of a small amount of N-2 or O-2 gas can dramatically change the surface morphology and chemical composition, allowing for continuous modulation of surface wettability.

Summary: In this study, superhydrophobic polylactic acid (PLA) surfaces with microstructured pillars were prepared using hot pressing and chemical vapor deposition methods. The wettability and morphology of the PLA patterns were investigated. The results showed that silane coatings containing a fluorine atom could significantly increase the water contact angle of the PLA surfaces, and the coated patterns exhibited excellent resistance and stability.

Summary: In this study, a CeO2 coating with lotus leaf-like bi-scale structures was deposited by air plasma spraying. It was observed that the surface wettability of the coating exhibited a special delayed phenomenon, requiring atmospheric storage for the transition from superhydrophilicity to super-hydrophobicity. The adsorption effect was identified as the main factor influencing the surface wettability, with the coating surface spontaneously adsorbing low surface free energy substances during atmospheric storage, leading to the change in wettability.

Summary: This study presents simple one- and two-step processes for fabricating transparent ultrahydrophobic surfaces and 3D-printed superhydrophobic microstructures. The one-step method involves thermal treatment of PDMS solution to create a transparent superhydrophobic surface, while the two-step approach combines 3D printing with a hydrophobic coating method to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces.

Summary: In this study, self-regenerative superhydrophobic metallic coatings with high durability and corrosion resistance were developed using low-cost and simple flame spraying. The coatings exhibited a hierarchical structure with nanoscale features on microscale lamellae. The morphology transformed from a nano-sponge to a nano-spheroid after annealing, resulting in improved superhydrophobicity. The coatings showed increased durability, adhesion, and electrochemical corrosion resistance.

Summary: Constructing copper hydroxide nanorods layer onto cellulosic filter paper surface can produce superhydrophobic and superoleophilic properties. The modified surface is rougher and has good hydrophobicity and separation efficiency. The absorption capacity for diesel oil is high, and the flux is influenced by the viscosity of the oil.

Summary: A superhydrophobic surface of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was successfully prepared by ball milling and spraying. The low surface energy and micro-nano secondary structure contribute to the spherical shape of droplets and the higher contact angle. The contact angle of PTFE plate sprayed with 3% graphene/hydrophobic nano-SiO2 composite powder is 161.05 degrees. This approach provides a feasible way for the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces and reduces the cleaning cost of PTFE surfaces.

Summary: The design of membrane surfaces plays a crucial role in manipulating and controlling liquid transport. Janus membranes with opposite wettability characteristics were fabricated using copper foam and copper mesh. By treating one side of the membranes with a femtosecond laser beam, they exhibited excellent water diode properties. A titanium oxide coating was also applied to enhance durability, making the system effective for at least 60 days. This research has potential applications in high-precision drop control and water harvesting in arid environments.

Summary: The Jauman type microwave absorbing ceramic made from a mixture of quartz, calcium sulphate, talc, and sodium tetraborate, with the addition of carbon felt film, showed high flexural strength and excellent microwave absorbing performance. The ceramic sintered at 780 degrees Celsius had the highest strength due to suitable fiber/matrix bonding. Additionally, ceramics with two layers of carbon felt film performed better in microwave absorption, and adding a conductive semi-transparent thin film as a loss layer further improved absorption.
