Surfaces with Sustainable Superhydrophobicity upon Mechanical Abrasion

open access: yes, 2016
Surfaces with sustainable superhydrophobicity have drawn much attention in recent years for improved durability in practical applications. In this study, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) were prepared and used as reservoirs to load ...

Sensitive and Spatially‐Resolved Electrochemiluminescence via Micropatterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The use of a simple silica nanoparticle surface coating and patterning process can transform ordinary gold electrodes into multiplexed ECL sensing electrodes. Through spatially confined droplet formation and local ECL emission, it is possible to perform multiple analyses simultaneously from individual locations as well as intensify the ECL signal by as

Patterned Superhydrophobic SERS Substrates for Sample Pre-Concentration and Demonstration of Its Utility through Monitoring of Inhibitory Effects of Paraoxon and Carbaryl on AChE

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
We describe a patterned surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate with the ability to pre-concentrate target molecules. A surface-adsorbed nanosphere monolayer can serve two different functions.

Fabrication of a durable anti-icing composite coating based on polyurethane elastomer and silica nanoparticles

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2022
In order to design and fabricate hydrophobic, durable and anti-icing coating for aircraft, a polyurethane elastomer matrix was hydrophobically modified and incorporated with fluorinated SiO _2 nanoparticles to prepare a micro/nanostructured coating.

3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Room temperature ionic liquid based polystyrene nanofibers with superhydrophobicity and conductivity produced by electrospinning

open access: yes, 2008
In this report, a polystyrene-ionic liquid (PS-IL) composite nanofiber was successfully produced for the first time by an electrospinning method. The electrospun composite films were characterized by SEM, FTIR, cyclic voltammetry, water contact angle ...

Magnetic Droplet Manipulation on Open Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Recent advances in the manipulation of magnetic droplets demonstrate various manipulations on open surfaces, including transport, splitting, merging, and force‐controlled motion, enabled by magnetic particles and external fields. ABSTRACT Manipulation of liquids on a smaller scale enables applications in various fields, particularly diagnostics and ...

The Thermodynamics of Restoring Underwater Superhydrophobicity

open access: yes, 2017
Superhydrophobic surfaces submerged in liquids are susceptible to permanently becoming wet. This is especially true when the ambient liquid is pressurized or undersaturated with air.

Transparent Surface with Reversibly Switchable Wettability between Superhydrophobicity and Superhydrophilicity

open access: yes, 2016
In the present work, we have successfully fabricated a polyelectrolyte-tethered transparent surface on which superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity can be reversibly switched via counterion exchange between the chloride ion (Cl–) and ...
