... wettability and provide some guidance for the practical manufacturing of the surfaces with special wettability and better lubrication characteristics. Design/methodology/approach The effect of surface topography on the wetting behavior of both smooth and rough hydrophilic surfaces was investigated using...

... aluminium alloys. Mechanical properties improved with the addition of strontium-based master alloy Al10Sr. The ultimate tensile strength, hardness and compressive strength increase with an increase in the reinforcement content. The wettability of the boron carbide particles in the matrix improved...

.... Many environmental processes are affected by the interfacial phenomenon in which surface wetting plays a vital role. Therefore, the ability to modify surface wettability observed in nature creates wonderful opportunities to develop novel environmental applications. In the past decade, functional...
