Extend Plastron Longevity on Superhydrophobic Surface Using Gas Soluble and Gas Permeable Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) by Ankit Gupta, Hangjian Ling

“…The gas (or plastron) trapped between micro/nano-scale surface textures, such as that on superhydrophobic surfaces, is crucial for many engineering applications, including drag reduction, heat and mass transfer enhancement, anti-biofouling, anti-icing, and self-cleaning. However, the longevity of the plastron is significantly affected by gas diffusion, a process where gas molecules slowly diffuse into the ambient liquid. …”
