Abstract

We describe the slippery behaviour of textured solids filled with oil, on which other liquids are found to slip and be removed easily. We describe the criteria for achieving this slippery behaviour, and illustrate the concept by two examples, namely the lotus effect (removal of dust by mobile drops) and the coffee stain effect.
