Extend Plastron Longevity on Superhydrophobic Surface Using Gas Soluble and Gas Permeable Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) [PDF]
BiomimeticsThe gas (or plastron) trapped between micro/nano-scale surface textures, such as that on superhydrophobic surfaces, is crucial for many engineering applications, including drag reduction, heat and mass transfer enhancement, anti-biofouling, anti-icing ...

Plastron Respiration Using Commercial Fabrics [PDF]
Materials, 2014 A variety of insect and arachnid species are able to remain submerged in water indefinitely using plastron respiration. A plastron is a surface-retained film of air produced by surface morphology that acts as an oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange surface.

Plastron-mediated direct H2O2 synthesis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsGas-liquid-solid catalytic reactions are ubiquitous in the chemical industry and environmental chemistry. The efficacy of these reactions is constrained by the inherently low solubility of gases in liquids and poor mass transfer of reactants/products to ...

Development of the Turtle Plastron, the Order-Defining Skeletal Structure [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 Significance The plastron, the order-defining skeletal structure for turtles, provides a bony exoskeleton for the ventral side of the turtle. We provide here the first molecular analysis of plastron bone formation. We show that plastron bone morphogenesis in the ventral mesenchyme employs a program of bone formation that usually ...

Ultrasonic Healing of Plastrons
Advanced ScienceSuperhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) exhibit a pronounced ability to resist wetting. When immersed in water, water does not penetrate between the microstructures of the SHS. Instead, a thin layer of trapped gas remains, i.e., plastron. This fractional wetting

Saturation and texture geometry effects on plastron longevity on superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSuperhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs), when immersed in water, sustain an underwater interfacial air layer (plastron) whose longevity governs performance. Under quiescent conditions this longevity is set by diffusive gas transfer.

Underwater drag reduction via self-healing and robust air plastrons stabilized by candle soot-based coatings [PDF]
Frontiers in ChemistryIn marine environments, the increased drag force on vehicles impedes their speed underwater, leading to high energy consumption and reduced vehicle efficiency. Superhydrophobic coatings have gained remarkable attention regarding drag reduction.
