Super liquid repellent surfaces for anti-foaming and froth management [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Wong et al. demonstrate the efficacy of super-amphiphobic surfaces for in situ defoaming and inhibition of foam growth while handling aqueous solutions. Without the use of chemical additives, their passive approach suggests a facile alternative route to ...

Biomimetic Liquid-Repellent Surfaces by Ultrafast Laser Processing [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2018 This review is focused on the realization of liquid-repellent surfaces, inspired by two biological models: “dry” superhydrophobic leaves and “slippery” liquid-repellent carnivorous plants using ultrafast laser processing.

Fluorine-Free Super-Liquid-Repellent Surfaces: Pushing the Limits of PDMS. [PDF]
Nano Lett, 2023 Methods for fabricating super-liquid-repellent surfaces have typically relied on perfluoroalkyl substances. However, growing concerns about the environmental and health effects of perfluorinated compounds have caused increased interest in fluorine-free alternatives. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is most promising.

Nepenthes pitcher plant inspired bio-polymer embedded porous surfaces for oil aquaplaning [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Nepenthes pitcher plant has inspired surfaces employing a liquid barrier that shields the surface from contaminants. However, such liquid-infused oil-repellent surfaces employ toxic fluorocarbons or unstable polar liquids.

Characterization of super liquid-repellent surfaces [PDF]
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science, 2014 Characterization of the wetting properties is a prerequisite for a fundamental understanding and the targeted development of superhydrophobic and superamphiphobic layers. To fabricate super liquid-repellent layers, two requirements need to be met: The surfaces have to be of low energy and their nano- and microstructure needs to be designed in a way ...

Self-Accelerating Drops on Silicone-Based Super Liquid-Repellent Surfaces. [PDF]
ACS NanoDesign of super liquid-repellent surfaces has relied on an interplay between surface topography and surface energy. Perfluoroalkylated materials are often used, but they are environmentally unsustainable and notorious for building up static charge. Therefore, there is a need for understanding the performance of sustainable low surface energy materials ...

Mechanical Properties of Highly Porous Super Liquid‐Repellent Surfaces [PDF]
Advanced Functional Materials, 2016 Surfaces with self‐cleaning properties are desirable for many applications. Conceptually, super liquid‐repellent surfaces are required to be highly porous on the nano‐ or micrometer scale, which inherently makes them mechanically weak. Optimizing the balance of mechanical strength and liquid repellency is a core aspect toward applications.

Synergistic Integration of Superhydrophobic and Lubricant-Infused Surface for Enhanced Liquid Repellency. [PDF]
LangmuirWe present a novel dual-functional surface design that strategically integrates superhydrophobic and lubricant-infused surface technologies to achieve switchable liquid repellency with significantly enhanced durability and self-healing capabilities. By precisely controlling the amount of silicone oil infused─quantified as surface loading─into laser ...
