This study introduces an approach for creating liquid‐like slippery surfaces (LLS) on various substrates. An epoxy‐silicon (EpSi) coating is applied, plasma‐activated, and immersed in an organosilane solution, forming siloxane chains. The resulting LLS exhibits ultra‐low ice adhesion, high transparency, self‐cleaning, and anti‐staining properties ...

Temperature‐Dependent Properties of Atomic Layer Deposition‐Grown TiO2 Thin Films
This study explores the temperature‐dependent properties of TiO₂ thin films grown by atomic layer deposition using tetrakis dimethyl amino titanium and water. The films exhibit increased oxynitride incorporation as the process temperature increases from 150 to 350 °C, significantly influencing their optical and electrical properties. Findings highlight

Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO Coating on Biodegradable Fe‐Based Alloys
A biodegradable Fe69Mn30C1 alloy is coated with ZnO using atomic layer deposition at 100 °C. Coating thickness impacts surface roughness, wettability, and in vitro degradation while maintaining hydrophilicity. The ZnO coating exhibits significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, achieving an inhibitory rate of up to 99.2%, and can ...
