Impact and Departure Dynamics of Droplets and Bubbles
… the resulting ice sheet in the air-trapping Cassie state, without any surface coatings required. For the last part (Chapter 5), we investigated the bubble coalescence dynamics that can depart the bubble with a micrometer size. We made the micro-structured surfaces tailored to nucleation sites …

Solid-liquid interactions in microscale structures and devices
… surface is then measured for a droplet in the Cassie state, which is a state of partial wetting. The results show that although the droplet is in the Cassie state, the contact area does not necessarily follow Cassie model predictions. Moreover, the CL is not circular, and is affected by the …

WETTING TRANSITIONS AT NANOSTRUCTURED SURFACES
… of a nanodroplet can be predicted by the local Cassie-Baxter mixing relation applied to the area within the interaction range from the drop’s perimeter, which, in turn, enables predictions of condensation and saturated vapor pressure above nanopatterned hydrophilic/hydrophobic surfaces. …

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Polyacetal & Design and Preparation of Superhydrophobic Photocatalytic Surfaces
… photosensitizer particles. A stable Cassie state was maintained, even on surfaces fabricated with hydrophilic TiO<sub>2</sub> particles, due to significant hierarchical roughness. A triple phase photogenerator is designed and fabricated. By printing the surface on a porous support, …

Advances in Microfluidics: A Lab-on-a-Disk Approach to Solve Dairy Industry Problems
… and morphology modification led to a Wenzel state for the superhydrophobic surfaces. The superhydrophilic surface was characteristic of a Cassie state. The laser generated valves comprised a section of altered wettability laser-fabricated in the base and top of a channel. Change in …
