The optimized process was tested on a siloxane elastomer modified with a fluorocarbon silane to enhance hydrophobicity. The resulting surface maintained superomniphobicity at up to 400% strain and ...
Researchers from North Carolina State University have used laser ablation to create ultra-stretchable, superomniphobic materials without the use of harsh chemical solvents. The materials—which are ...
Our system is remarkable because it’s incredibly simple,” said paper author and physicist David Grier of New York University.
