Abstract
Control over the interaction between liquids and surfaces is used in numerous thermofluidic systems, with behaviors ranging from highly repellent to highly wetting. In this work, we demonstrate that surface engineering enables highly wetting behavior from liquid/surface combinations that are typically nonwetting, broadening the design space for thermofluidic systems.
