A structure for collecting liquid droplets from an aerosol can have a structure and properties that are selected for efficient liquid collection. In particular, the strand radius and spacing of a mesh, and a material for coating the mesh, can be selected to provide efficient collection of water droplets from fog.

Liquid collecting permeable structures

A device and method for preparing a device having a superoleophobic surface are disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate; coating a lift-off resist layer on the substrate; baking the lift-off resist layer; layering a photoresist layer on the lift-off resist layer; performing photolithography to create a textured pattern in the photoresist layer and the lift-off resist layer, and chemically modifying the textured pattern to create a superoleophobic surface.

Method of making superoleophobic re-entrant resist structures

An ink jet print head front face or nozzle plate having a textured superoleophobic surface that prevents undesirable drooling, wetting and/or adhesion of the ink on the print head. The textured surface includes a rim formed around the nozzle. Also described are methods for forming the textured superoleophobic ink jet print head front face or nozzle plate from silicon having the textured, oleophobic surface.
