Condensation on superhydrophobic copper oxide nanostructures (2012, background): “Indeed, while recent experimental studies have explored droplet wetting-states formed during condensation on structured surfaces fabricated via scalable synthesis methods [6-13], the measurement of individual droplet heat transfer rates obtained from detailed growth studies and overall heat transfer”
Dropwise Condensation on Micro- and Nanostructured Surfaces (2014, background): “(b) Constant base droplet growth on a hydrophobic surface imaged using the gaseous secondary electron detector at a 90◦ angle [118].”
Modeling and Optimization of Superhydrophobic Condensation (2013, background): “A number of recent works have fabricated superhydrophobic structured surfaces for the purpose of enhanced dropwise condensation via coalescence-induced droplet removal [10, 19-21, 23, 31, 47-50].”
