DOI: 10.1016/j.jobe.2017.09.003
Abstract: Abstract Low adhesive superhydrophobic surfaces possess water contact angle higher than 150° and sliding angle lower than 10°. This property can lead to water and contamination rejection from surface. For creation of this characteristic on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2018.01.013
Abstract: Background: A postoperative water‐forbidden strategy has been used for many decades. However, evidence shows that early contact with water postoperatively does not increase the infection rate. Our study evaluated the gap between currently available evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d1cc00426c
Abstract: A new protocol based on quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations is proposed to revisit water-MoS2 interfacial force fields (FFs). The accurate reproduction of experimental water contact angles is suggested to be insufficient to… read more here.
