• A review on the mechanical and thermodynamic robustness of superhydrophobic surfaces 

  Scarratt, Liam R.J.; Steiner, Ullrich; Neto, Chiara (Elsevier, 2017-05-30)

  Advancements in the fabrication and study of superhydrophobic surfaces have been significant over the past 10 years, and some 20 years after the discovery of the lotus effect, the study of special wettability surfaces can ...

• Functional patterned coatings by thin polymer film dewetting 

  Telford, Andrew M.; Thickett, S.C.; Neto, Chiara (Elsevier, 2017-07-04)

  An approach for the fabrication of functional polymer surface coatings is introduced, where micro-scale structure and surface functionality are obtained by means of self-assembly mechanisms. We illustrate two main ...

• High Glass Transition Temperature Fluoropolymers for Hydrophobic Surface Coatings via RAFT Copolymerization 

  Rowe, M.; Teo, G.; Horne, J.; Al-Khayat, Omar; Neto, Chiara; Thickett, Stuart C. (CSIRO Publishing, 2016-02-24)

  The preparation of polymer thin films or surface coatings that display a static water contact angle .958 often requires hierarchical roughness features or surface functionalization steps. In addition, inherently hydrophobic ...

• Patterned polymer coatings increase the efficiency of dew harvesting 

  Al-Khayat, Omar; Hong, Jun Ki; Beck, David M.; Minett, Andrew I.; Neto, Chiara (ACS Publications, 2017-02-22)

  Micropatterned polymer surfaces, possessing both topographical and chemical characteristics, were prepared on three-dimensional copper tubes and used to capture atmospheric water. The micropatterns mimic the structure ...

• Waterborne all-polymeric colloidal 'raspberry' particles with controllable hydrophobicity and water droplet adhesion properties 

  Telford, Andrew M.; Easton, Chris D.; Hawkett, Brian S.; Neto, Chiara (Elsevier, 2016-01-29)

  Wepresent a superhydrophobic coating made fromwaterborne, all-polymeric ‘raspberry’ particles, composed of a micrometric spherical core decorated with a corona of nanometric spherical particles. As-cast particles ...
