Enhanced Laplace Pressures for Functional Surfaces: Wicking, Switchability, and Selectivity
Wetting functionalities of rough surfaces are largely determined by the Laplace pressure generated across liquid–gas interfaces formed within surface structures. Typically, rough wetting surfaces create negative Laplace pressures, enabling capillary wicking, while rough non‐wetting surfaces create p...
