Partially substrateless microchannels for direct monitoring of interfacial dynamics in hydrophobic surfaces

Abstract Superhydrophobic and liquid-infused surfaces are the most prominent techniques to achieve drag reduction in microchannels. However, they have specific drawbacks such as costly fabrication of complex and mechanically sensitive surfaces, surfaces susceptible to lubricant abrasion or involve h...
