Micro-textured surfaces for omniphobicity and drag-reduction
… against low surface tension liquids and display omniphobicity, i.e., repellency against a wide range of liquids regardless of their surface tension values. Surfaces that display contact angles of 0* > 1500 with liquids having appreciably lower surface tensions are attained by the incorporation of …

Designing liquid repellent surfaces for fabrics, feathers and fog
Omniphobicity refers to a property of surfaces which are not wetted by water, oils, alcohols and other low surface tension liquids. Robust omniphobic surfaces can be applied in many areas including fabrics with chemical / biological protection and dirt / fingerprint resistant touch screens. The …

Self-Replenishing, Wear-Resistant and Anti-Sticking Surfaces Based on Liquid Impregnation of Microstructured Mesoporous α-AI₂O₃ [Alpha Alumina] Matrices
… time, they exhibited enhanced omniphobicity. The contributing factors towards self¿replenishment are the strong capillary forces of the impregnating liquid, coupled with its surface diffusivity on the polar alumina matrix. Further, the replenishing efficiency may be improved by …

Transparent Omniphobic Coatings that are Flexible and Wear Resistant
Omniphobic or anti-smudge surfaces require good mechanical durability to ensure that they are suitable for practical applications. In general, the abrasion resistance of a surface depends on its hardness. However, when a coating is very hard, it is usually brittle and lacks flexibility. New coating …
