Liquid-impregnated surface
A liquid-impregnated surface consists of two distinct layers. The first is a highly textured surface consisting of a matrix of features spaced sufficiently close to stably contain the second layer which is an impregnating liquid that fills in the spaces between the features.[1]
LiquiGlide is a commercial example of a liquid-impregnated surface, invented at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology[2]
