Atomistic Tribology
An Engineered Salvinia-like Slippery Surface
01.02.2021 TriboNet

The surface properties of materials are often critical because they dictate how they react with their external environment. An important property currently under intense investigation is how surfaces interact with liquids like water. In a […]
