The mobility of a droplet on a surface is strongly correlated to the liquid–solid contact area, as well as the pressure of the gas entrapped between. Reversible sticky to slippery transitions may be attained by ultra-low back pressure on porous surfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
