Thermally Induced, Tension-Gradient-Driven Self-Assembly of Nanoparticle Films for Superhydrophobicity and Oil-Water Separation

Summary: Self-assembly is one of the most popular ways to produce nanoparticle (NP) films, but it is still limited by expensive instruments, time-consuming processes, and poor controllability. Here we present a thermally induced, tension-gradient-driven nanoparticle self-assembly method to realize h...
