• Anisotropic wetting and final shape of droplets impacting on micropillars with non-vertical lateral walls 

      Ding, Wenwu; Dorao, Carlos Alberto; Fernandino, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The control of the droplet shape during the impact on a solid surface is of relevance for several practical applications, such as inkjet printing technologies. Although several studies have reported factors affecting the ...
    • Conical micro-structures for super-repellent surfaces and their effect on droplet impact 

      Ding, Wenwu (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:235, Doctoral thesis, 2021)
      Surface wetting properties control is crucial to various applications, such as anti-wetting, self cleaning and heat transfer processes. Design of surface wetting properties can be achieved by mechanical and chemical methods. ...
    • Improving superamphiphobicity by mimicking tree-branch topography 

      Ding, Wenwu; Dorao, Carlos Alberto; Fernandino, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      when a droplet impacts on a superhydrophobic structured surface below a certain impact velocity, the droplet can bounce off completely from the surface. However, above such velocity a fraction of the droplet will pin on ...
    • Liquid layer generator for excellent icephobicity at extremely low temperature 

      Wang, Feng; Xiao, Senbo; Zhuo, Yizhi; Ding, Wenwu; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Progress in icephobicity has been made in recent years. However, the majority of the icephobic surfaces reported are relying on mechanisms of static nature, and maintaining low ice adhesion of these surfaces at extreme ...
    • Phase transition enabled durable anti-icing surfaces and its DIY design 

      Wang, Feng; Ding, Wenwu; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Generally, the longevity and durability of slippery liquid infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) applied for anti-icing purpose are of great challenge. In this work, phase transformable slippery liquid infused porous surfaces ...
    • Toward Surfaces with Droplet Impact Robustness and Low Contact Angle Hysteresis 

      Ding, Wenwu; Dorao, Carlos Alberto; Fernandino, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Superhydrophobic surfaces show excellent water repellent performance. However, liquid impalement occurs when a droplet impacts on the surface at high velocity. To achieve higher resistance to liquid impalement at the same ...
