  • The study of wave propagation at interfaces in various conditions, including deep and shallow water, has garnered significant interest over centuries. This work explores a class of capillary waves traveling on the plastron of underwater superhydrophobic surfaces, hence the name “plastronic waves”, with extraordinary fast propagation speed and applications for monitoring microscale gas layer stability.

  • Trapped films of air known as plastrons are promising for underwater engineering but typically have short lifetimes. Here, aerophilic titanium alloy surfaces are developed with thermodynamically stabilized plastrons for antifouling applications.

  • Upon submersion, a superhydrophobic surface can trap a layer of air, termed “plastron”, that separates it from the surrounding liquid. Here, methodology is reported for predicting the thermodynamic stability of plastron by measuring surface roughness, solid-liquid area fraction, and Young’s contact angle.
