Effects of liquid surface tension on gas capillaries and capillary forces at superamphiphobic surfaces

Abstract The formation of a bridging gas capillary between superhydrophobic surfaces in water gives rise to strongly attractive interactions ranging up to several micrometers on separation. However, most liquids used in materials research are oil-based or contain surfactants. Superamphiphobic surfac...
