Biomimetic coating-free surfaces for long-term entrapment of air under wetting liquids

Biomimetic coating-free surfaces for long-term entrapment of air under wetting liquids

Trapping air at the solid-liquid interface is a promising strategy for reducing frictional drag but could not be realized without perfluorinated coatings so-far. Here the authors demonstrate a biomimetic coating-free approach for entrapping air for long periods upon immersion in liquids.
