Engineering sticky superomniphobic surfaces on transparent and flexible PDMS substrate.
Renaud Dufour,Maxime Harnois,Yannick Coffinier,Vincent Thomy,Rabah Boukherroub,Vincent Senez +5 more
TL;DR: The modified Cassie equation is focused on, considering the 1D aspect of wetting, to explain the behavior of droplets on so-called sticky superomniphobic surfaces and compare experimental data to previous works to confirm the validity of this model.

Zipping effect on omniphobic surfaces for controlled deposition of minute amounts of fluid or colloids.
TL;DR: The experiments suggest that the dynamics of the liquid de-pinning cascade is likely to select the volume left on a specific post, involving the pinch-off and detachment of a liquid bridge.

EWOD driven cleaning of bioparticles on hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces
Martin Jönsson-Niedziółka,Martin Jönsson-Niedziółka,Florian Lapierre,Yannick Coffinier,S.J. Parry,Farzam Zoueshtiagh,Timothy Foat,Vincent Thomy,Rabah Boukherroub +8 more
TL;DR: This article proposes an original study on the collection of electrostatically deposited particles using electrowetting droplet displacement and compares ElectroWetting-On-Dielectric (EWOD) collecting efficiency using either a hydrophobic or a superhydrophobic counter electrode.

Antifouling Biomimetic Liquid-Infused Stainless Steel: Application to Dairy Industrial Processing
Sawsen Zouaghi,Thierry Six,Séverine Bellayer,Sona Moradi,Savvas G. Hatzikiriakos,Thomas Dargent,Vincent Thomy,Yannick Coffinier,Christophe Andre,Christophe Andre,Guillaume Delaplace,Maude Jimenez +11 more
TL;DR: This work aims at presenting a novel and very promising dairy fouling-mitigation strategy, inspired by nature, and to test its antifouling performances in real industrial conditions.

High sensitive matrix-free mass spectrometry analysis of peptides using silicon nanowires-based digital microfluidic device
Florian Lapierre,Gaëlle Piret,Hervé Drobecq,Oleg Melnyk,Yannick Coffinier,Vincent Thomy,Rabah Boukherroub +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the analysis of low molecular weight compounds (700 m/z) can be achieved with a very high sensitivity (down to 10 fmol μL(-1)).
