Versatile bubble maneuvering on photopyroelectric slippery surfaces

Nature Communications, 2023
AbstractContactless bubble manipulation with a high spatiotemporal resolution brings a qualitative leap forward in a variety of applications. Despite considerable advances, light-induced bubble maneuvering remains challenging in terms of robust transportation, splitting and detachment.

Fabrication of slippery textured and slippery non-textured surfaces

, 2018
Slippery surfaces, i.e., surfaces that have high droplet mobility and low lateral adhesion for liquid droplets, have a wide range of application such as condensation heat transfer, anti-corrosion, lab-on-chip devices, etc. These surfaces can be categorized into smooth slippery surfaces and super-repellant textured slippery surfaces.

Rapid droplet leads the Liquid-Infused Slippery Surfaces more slippery

, 2023
The introduction of lubricant between fluid and substrate endows the Liquid-Infused Slippery Surfaces with excellent wetting properties: low contact angle, various liquids repellency, ice-phobic and self-healing. Droplets moving on such surfaces have been widely demonstrated to obey a Landau-Levich-Derjaguin (LLD) friction.

Bilayer Lubricant‐Infused Particulate Films as Slippery Protective Coatings with Durable Anticorrosion and Antifouling Performance

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2022
In this study, durable slippery colloidal coatings are created through the infiltration of particulate films with bilayer lubricant; the coatings exhibit remarkable surface‐protective performance, including anticorrosion, antifouling, self‐healing, anti ...

Footstep adjustment for biped push recovery on slippery surfaces

Multibody System Dynamics, 2022
Despite extensive studies on motion stabilization of bipeds, they still suffer from the lack of disturbance coping capability on slippery surfaces. In this paper, a novel controller for stabilizing a bipedal motion in its sagittal plane is developed with regard to the surface friction limitations.

Plant surfaces with cuticular folds are slippery for beetles [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2011
Plant surfaces covered with three-dimensional (3D) waxes are known to strongly reduce insect adhesion, leading to slippery surfaces. Besides 3D epicuticular waxes, cuticular folds are a common microstructure found on plant surfaces, which have not been quantitatively investigated with regard to their influence on insect adhesion.

Optimizing photoexcitation conditions for time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering experiments

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering (TR‐XSS) is a powerful technique to visualize how proteins change their structure in real time after light activation. Selecting the right laser photoexcitation conditions—fluence, excitation geometry, and sample refresh rate—is critical to maximize the experimental signal while avoiding unwanted side effects ...

Interfacial Strategies for Smart Slippery Surfaces [PDF]

Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2020
The problem of contact line pinning on surfaces is pervasive and contributes to problems from ring stains to ice formation. Here we provide a single conceptual framework for interfacial strategies encompassing five strategies for modifying the solid-liquid interface to remove pinning and increase droplet mobility.

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...
