Abstract

Abstract : A polytetrafluoroethylene‐carbon nanofiber nanocomposite coating is applied on a copper substrate with an aluminum primer for superhydrophobicity to facilitate jumping dropwise condensation. While being durable and scalable, the coating delivers extreme heat transfer improvements up to ≈900%. More details can be found in article number 2001176 by Dimos Poulikakos and co‐workers.
