Novel transparent, liquid-repellent smooth surfaces with mechanical durability [PDF]
Chemical Engineering Journal, 2016 Abstract A simple fabrication method for a smooth and transparent liquid-repellent film has been presented, and the smooth film was successfully obtained through sol–gel process with (3-Glycidyloxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) followed by surface treatment of air plasma and fluorination.

Biocompatible liquid-infused titanium minimizes oral biofilm adhesion in flow chamber and 3D implant-tissue-biofilm in vitro models [PDF]
Bioactive MaterialsBiomedical implants are susceptible to bacterial colonization, which can lead to challenging implant-associated infections. In particular, dental implant abutments – which are continuously exposed to bacteria within the oral cavity – stand to greatly ...

One-Step Fabrication of Hot-Water-Repellent Surfaces
Biomimetics, 2022 Hot-water repellency is of great challenge on traditional superhydrophobic surfaces due to the condensation of tiny droplets within the cavities of surface textures, which builds liquid bridges to connect the substrate and hot water and thus destroys the

Self-Compensating Liquid-Repellent Surfaces with Stratified Morphology [PDF]
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019 Artificial liquid-repellent surfaces have recently attracted vast scientific attention; however, achieving mechanical robustness remains a formidable challenge before industrialization can be realized. To this end, inspired by plateaus in geological landscapes, a self-compensating strategy is developed to pave the way for the synthesis of durable ...

Slippery damper of an overlay for arresting and manipulating droplets on nonwetting surfaces
Nature Communications, 2021 Controlled deposition of droplets on super-repellent surfaces is a challenging task in many practical applications. Han et al. show that already a rather thin encapsulating film of a highly viscous liquid can fine tune droplet impact as to suppress both ...

Super liquid repellent coatings against the everyday life wear: Heating, freezing, scratching
iScience, 2021 Summary: Super liquid repellent coatings are among the most promising candidates for self-cleaning surfaces for indoor and outdoor applications. However, the characteristic nano- and micro-scale protrusions can easily be damaged. Improving the durability
