Talk:Liquid-impregnated surface

Title and description

The page title is liquid-impregnated surface (LIS) and slippery liquid infused porous surface (SLIPS) redirects here. I have added a reference to multi-phase surfaces. Fundamentally, these appear to be different names for the same thing as all three describe the same two part structure for surfaces. As far as I understand this, SLIPS was the Harvard group's name, while LIS was the MIT group's name, and multi-phase surface was the Motorola group's name. I believe that "multi-phase" was first used in 2008, while "SLIPS" was first used in 2011, and "LIS" was first used after that. So, I'm not sure why "LIS" is being used here to describe all of them. If there is an older reference for that nomenclature, I think it would be good to add it. If the scientific community has now come to use LIS as a widely agreed upon name for these types of surfaces, then I think that it's probably important to support that as well (although I see publications within the past year still using SLIPS).
