Plastron Regeneration on Submerged Superhydrophobic Surfaces Using In Situ Gas Generation by Chemical Reaction

Superhydrophobic surfaces submerged under water appear shiny due to total internal reflection of light from a thin layer of air (plastron) trapped in their surface texture. This entrapped air is advantageous for frictional drag reduction in various applications ranging from microfluidic channels to...
