Replenishment of the Gas in a Hydrophobically-Structured Surface by Mass Transfer at the Liquid-Gas Interface for Improving the Stability of Entrapped Gas
The underwater nonwetted state on a superhydrophobic surface is hardly maintained in flowing water because the entrapped gas dissolves into the water or is carried off by flow. Therefore, a source gas is necessary to maintain a superhydrophobic state for its applications under realistic conditions....
