- Additional information
- This work, showing how a slippery surface mimicking the pitcher plant allows droplets to evaporate with a completely mobile contact line (the first ever study of this pure mode of evaporation for water), led to two separate funding awards. The first, EPSRC EP/P026613/1 with project collaborators Jaguar Landrover and Cellix Ltd, was ranked first at panel within category (http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewPanelROL.aspx?PanelId=1-2JPVS1&RankingListId=1-2Q27WP) and leveraged the slippery surface properties to create a gradient transport concept. The second award by The Royal Society (RG150470), “Hygrotactic motion of evaporating liquid droplets on ultra-low friction surfaces”, leveraged the slippery surface to allow a humidity gradient transport concept.
