Combining nanotextures with Leidenfrost effect for water repellency

Combining nanotextures with Leidenfrost effect for water repellency Washington DC (SPX) May 18, 2016 - Combining superhydrophobic surfaces with Leidenfrost levitation - picture a water droplet hovering over a hot surface rather than making physical contact with it - has been explored extensively for the past decade by researchers hoping to uncover the holy grail of water-repellent surfaces. In a new twist, a group of South Korean researchers from Seoul National University and Dankook Univer ... more
