Abstract
In this study, we fabricate and characterize amphiphilic anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes using UV-triggered thiol-yne click reactions and photomasks for various innovative applications, including driven polymer nanopatterns, anti-counterfeiting, and conductive pathways. Specifically, we synthesize 10-undecynyl-terminated-AAO membranes and subsequently prepare amphiphilic AAO membranes with superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic regions. Various analytical methods, including grazing angle X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (GIXPS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), nanofocused synchrotron X-ray techniques (nano-XRD and nano-XRF), and water contact angle measurements, confirm the modifications and distinct properties of the modified areas. This work achieves a series of applications, such as driven polymer nanopatterns, solvent- and light-triggered anti-counterfeiting, and region-selective conductive pathways using silver paint with lower resistivity. Besides, the amphiphilic AAO membrane exhibits successful stability, durability, and reusability. To sum up, this study highlights the versatility and potential of amphiphilic AAO membranes in advanced material design and smart applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterial composition, morphology, and mechanical performance are critical parameters for tissue engineering. Within this rapidly expanding space, tubular nanomaterials (TNs), including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), titanium oxide nanotubes (TNTs), halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), silica nanotubes (SiNTs), and hydroxyapatite nanotubes (HANTs) have shown significant potential across a broad range of applications due to their high surface area, versatile surface chemistry, well-defined mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, and monodispersity. These include drug delivery vectors, imaging contrast agents, and scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. This review is centered on the recent developments in TN-based biomaterials for structural tissue engineering, with a strong focus on bone tissue regeneration. It includes a detailed literature review on TN-based orthopedic coatings for metallic implants and composite scaffolds to enhance in vivo bone regeneration.

Abstract
We demonstrate a modular synthesis approach to yield mesoporous carbon-coated anatase (denoted as TiO2/C) nanostructures. Combining polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization enabled the fabrication of uniform core-shell polymeric nanoreactors with tunable morphologies. The nanoreactors comprised of a poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) shell and a poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBzMA) core. We selected worm-like and vesicular morphologies to guide the nanostructuring of a TiO2 precursor, namely, titanium(IV) bis(ammonium lactato)dihydroxide (TALH). Subsequent carbonization yielded nanocrystalline anatase and simultaneously introduced a porous carbon framework, which also suppressed the crystal growth (∼5 nm crystallites). The as-prepared TiO2/C materials comprised of a porous structure, with large specific surface areas (>85 m2/g) and various carbon contents (20-30 wt %). As anode components in lithium-ion batteries, our TiO2/C nanomaterials improved the cycling stability, facilitated high overall capacities, and minimized the capacity loss compared to both their sans carbon and commercial anatase analogues.

Abstract
Currently, titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are successfully employed in human food, drugs, cosmetics, advanced medicine, and dentistry because of their non-cytotoxic, non-allergic, and bio-compatible nature when used in direct close contact with the human body. These NPs are the most versatile oxides as a result of their acceptable chemical stability, lower cost, strong oxidation properties, high refractive index, and enhanced aesthetics. These NPs are fabricated by conventional (physical and chemical) methods and the latest biological methods (biological, green, and biological derivatives), with their advantages and disadvantages in this epoch. The significance of TiO2 NPs as a medical material includes drug delivery release, cancer therapy, orthopedic implants, biosensors, instruments, and devices, whereas their significance as a dental biomaterial involves dentifrices, oral antibacterial disinfectants, whitening agents, and adhesives. In addition, TiO2 NPs play an important role in orthodontics (wires and brackets), endodontics (sealers and obturating materials), maxillofacial surgeries (implants and bone plates), prosthodontics (veneers, crowns, bridges, and acrylic resin dentures), and restorative dentistry (GIC and composites).

Abstract
Hierarchical surface structures with micro–nano scale play a crucial role in regulation of cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. It has been proven that cells are extremely sensitive to the nanoscaled structure and show multifarious phenotypes. Though a vital function of microstructure on osseointegration has been confirmed, the cell performances response to different microscaled structure is needed to be further dissected and in depth understood. In this work, the ordered micro–nano hierarchical structures with varying micro-scaled pits were precisely fabricated on titanium successfully by the combination of electrochemical, chemical etching and anodization as well. In vitro systematical assessments indicated that the micro–nano multilevel structures on titanium exhibited excellent cells adhesion and spreading ability, as well as steerable proliferation and osteogenic differentiation behaviors. It is shown that smaller micro-pits and lower roughness of the hierarchical structures enabled faster cell propagation. Despite cell growth was delayed on micro–nano titanium with relatively larger cell-match-size micro-pits and roughness, osteogenic-specific genes were significantly elevated. Furthermore, the alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen secretion and extracellular matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 on multi-scaled titanium were suppressed by a large margin after adding IWP-2 (an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway), indicating this pathway played a crucial part in cell osteogenic differentiation modulated by micro–nano structures.

Abstract
In this work, we report a hybrid lithographic method that combines the top-down soft lithography and the bottom-up hydrothermal approach for growing single-crystalline TiO2 nanorod arrays with arbitrary patterns. The arbitrary patterns of TiO2 seeds were obtained through the microcontact printing of the TiO2 seed precursor onto Si substrates using prepatterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) as stamps, followed by a baking process. Afterward, TiO2 nanorod arrays were selectively grown on patterned TiO2 seeds through conventional hydrothermal methods. By controlling the TiO2 seed precursor concentration, the hydrothermal reaction time and temperature and the patterns, the morphology and density of the TiO2 nanorods can be tuned in a controllable manner. Overall, this work provides a new strategy for the low-cost and facile preparation of patterned TiO2 nanorod arrays that has potential applications in micro-nano-optoelectronic devices and other fields.

Abstract
The presence of air bubbles boosts the shear resistance and causes pressure fluctuation within fluid-perfused microchannels, resulting in possible cell damage and even malfunction of microfluidic devices. Eliminating air bubbles is especially challenging in microscale where the adhesive surface tension force is often dominant over other forces. Here, we present an air bubble removal strategy from a novel surface engineering perspective. A microfluidic port-to-port interconnect was fabricated by modifying the peripheral of the microfluidic ports superhydrophobic, while maintaining the inner polymer microchannels hydrophilic. Such a sharp wettability contrast enabled a preferential fluidic entrance into the easy-wetting microchannels over the non-wetting boundaries of the microfluidic ports, while simultaneously filtering out any incoming air bubbles owing to the existence of port-to-port gaps. This bubble-eliminating capability was consistently demonstrated at varying flow rates and liquid analytes. Compared to equipment-intensive techniques and porous membrane-venting strategies, our wettability contrast-governed strategy provides a simple yet effective route for eliminating air bubbles and simultaneously sealing microfluidic interconnects.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic surfaces display an extraordinary repulsion to water and water-based solutions. This effect emerges from the interplay of intrinsic hydrophobicity of the surface and its morphology. These surfaces have been established for a long time and have been studied for decades. The increasing interest in recent years has been focused towards applications in many different fields and, in particular, biomedical applications. In this paper, we review the progress achieved in the last years in the fabrication of regularly patterned superhydrophobic surfaces in many different materials and their exploitation for the manipulation and characterization of biomaterial, with particular emphasis on the issues affecting the yields of the fabrication processes and the quality of the manufactured devices.

Abstract
The study of adhesion behaviors on solid-liquid surfaces plays an important role in scientific research and development in various fields, such as medicine, biology and agriculture. The contact angle and sliding angle of the liquid on the solid surface are commonly used to characterize and measure the wettability of a particular surface. They have a wide range of values, which results in different wettability. It boils down to the adhesion of solid surfaces to liquids. This feature article is aimed at revealing the essence of the adhesion behavior from the aspects of controlling the chemical composition or changing the geometrical microstructure of the surface, and reviewing the natural sources, wetting models, preparation methods and applications of four kinds of typical solid-liquid surfaces (low-adhesion superhydrophobic surfaces, high-adhesion superhydrophobic surfaces, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) and hydrophilic/superhydrophilic surfaces). Last, a summary and outlook on this field are given to point out the current challenges and the potential research directions of surface adhesion in the coming future.

Abstract
High-throughput experiments involving isolated droplets based on patterned superwettable surfaces are important for various applications related to biology, chemistry, and medicine, and they have attracted a large amount of interest. This paper provides a directional anchoring liquid-infused superamphiphobic surface (DAS), via combining concepts based on the droplet-anchoring behavior of beetle backs with patterned wettability, the directional adhesion of butterfly wings, and the slippery liquid-infused surfaces (SLISs) of pitcher plants. Regularly arranged ">"-shaped SLIS patterns were created on a superamphiphobic (SAM) background through ultrafast-laser-based technology. Improved directional anchoring abilities with a sliding angle difference of 77° were achieved; this is the largest sliding angle difference in a one-dimensional direction achieved using an artificial surface, to the best of the authors' knowledge. Thanks to the directional anchoring abilities, the DAS coupled droplet 'anchoring' and 'releasing' abilities. Furthermore, a high-throughput droplet manipulation device was designed, on which a micro-droplet array with a large number of droplets can be 'captured', 'transferred', or 'released' in a single step. With the addition of lubricant, the DAS can work continuously for even more than 30 cycles without cross-contamination between different droplets. The DAS also shows good stability under an ambient atmosphere and can maintain its functionality when manipulating corrosive droplets. The DAS and corresponding high-throughput droplet manipulation method are excellent candidates for practical applications.

Abstract
Superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces are prevalent in nature and have received tremendous attention due to their importance in both fundamental research and practical applications. With the high interdisciplinary research and great development of microfabrication techniques, artificial wettable-nonwettable micropatterns inspired by the water-collection behavior of desert beetles have been successfully fabricated. A combination of the two extreme states of superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity on the same surface precisely, wettable-nonwettable micropatterns possess unique functionalities, such as controllable superwetting, anisotropic wetting, oriented adhesion, and other properties. In this review, we briefly describe the methods for fabricating wettable-nonwettable patterns, including self-assembly, electrodeposition, inkjet printing, and photolithography. We also highlight some of the emerging applications such as water collection, controllable bioadhesion, cell arrays, microreactors, printing techniques, and biosensors combined with various detection methods. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of this renascent and rapidly developing field are proposed and discussed.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), a kind of polymer, is often selected as a controlled released agent, whereas titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes are commonly used as a drug-coated carrier. This study was conducted to develop methods for manufacturing the GO/TiO2/HHC-36 composite
coating and exploring its bacteriostat and osteogenesis properties. The GO/TiO2 nanotubes were prepared by electrochemical methods and HHC-36 was then adsorbed to GO/TiO2to obtain GO/TiO2/HHC-36. Sustained release of HHC-36 was analyzed and the antibacterial
effect was examined by the inhibition zone test. The biocompatibility and osteogenesis in vitro of GO/TiO2/HHC-36 were explored. Finally, the osteogenesic property of the composite coating was investigated in a rat femoral defect model in vivo. GO/TiO2/HHC-36
was successfully prepared and had good controlled released performance in vitro. The inhibit zone size of S. aureus was 2.1 mm and that of E. coli was 3.0 mm. GO/TiO2/HHC-36 showed good biocompatibility with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and promoted their adhesion,
migration, and differentiation. In addition, the secretion of alkaline phosphatase, collagen, mineralized matrix and osteoblast-related nutrient factors of MSCs was increased after treatment with GO/TiO2/HHC-36. Furthermore, GO/TiO2/HHC-36 also stimulated endotheliocytes
to secrete VEGF, leading to angiogenesis. Finally, implantation of GO/TiO2/HHC-36 in the rat femur defect model resulted in MSC migration and increased expression of osteoblast related proteins. The composite coating with controlled released of HHC-36 showed distinct antibacterial
properties and promoted osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has seen a significant rise in the development of new research tools and clinically functional devices. In this regard, significant advances and new commercial applications are expected in the pharmaceutical and orthopedic industries. For advanced orthopedic implant technologies, appropriate nanoscale surface modifications are highly effective strategies and are widely studied in the literature for improving implant performance. It is well-established that implants with nanotubular surfaces show a drastic improvement in new bone creation and gene expression compared to implants without nanotopography. Nevertheless, the scientific and clinical understanding of mixed oxide nanotubes (MONs) and their potential applications, especially in biomedical applications are still in the early stages of development. This review aims to establish a credible platform for the current and future roles of MONs in nanomedicine, particularly in advanced orthopedic implants. We first introduce the concept of MONs and then discuss the preparation strategies. This is followed by a review of the recent advancement of MONs in biomedical applications, including mineralization abilities, biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, cell culture, and animal testing, as well as clinical possibilities. To conclude, we propose that the combination of nanotubular surface modification with incorporating sensor allows clinicians to precisely record patient data as a critical contributor to evidence-based medicine.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures are one of the most plentiful compounds that have emerged in various fields of technology such as medicine, energy and biosensing. Various TiO2 nanostructures (nanotubes [NTs] and nanowires) have been employed in photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing applications, greatly enhancing the detection of targets. TiO2 nanostructures, used as reinforced material or coatings for the bare surface of titanium implants, are excellent additive materials to compensate titanium implants deficiencies-like poor surface interaction with surrounding tissues-by providing nanoporous surfaces and hierarchical structures. These nanostructures can also be loaded by diversified drugs-like osteoporosis drugs, anticancer and antibiotics-and used as local drug delivery systems. Furthermore, TiO2 nanostructures and their derivatives are new emerging antimicrobial agents to overcome human pathogenic microorganisms. However, like all other nanomaterials, toxicity and biocompatibility of TiO2 nanostructures must be considered. This review highlights recent advances, along with the properties and numerous applications of TiO2-based nanostructure compounds in nano biosensing, medical implants, drug delivery and antibacterial fields. Moreover, in the present study, some recent advances accomplished on the pharmaceutical applications of TiO2 nanostructures, as well as its toxicity and biocompatibility, are presented.

Effects of diameters and crystals of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays on blood compatibility and endothelial cell behaviors. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 184:110521.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNTAs) have attracted extensive attention in the fields of biomaterials and biomedicine due to their unique tubular structure and good biocompatibility. In this paper, TNTAs with different nanotube diameters and lengths were in situ prepared on the titanium surface by the anodic oxidation, and their crystal structures were further changed by annealing treatment. The effects of TNTAs with different diameters and crystals on the blood compatibility and endothelial cell behaviors were investigated. The results showed that TNTAs with the diameter of 30∼90 nm can be obtained by controlling the anodization voltage, and annealing treatment did not obviously change the diameters and lengths of the nanotube arrays. However, annealing treatment can transform the amorphous TNTAs into the anatase structure. The diameter and crystal structure of the nanotube arrays played a key role in the surface wettability and protein adsorption. The nanotube array with larger diameter displayed better surface hydrophilicity as compared to the pristine titanium, and annealing treatment further enhanced the hydrophilicity. As compared to the pristine titanium, the nanotube array structure had the characteristic of selective protein adsorption, and the nanotube array can promote the bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption and prevent the fibrinogen (FIB) adsorption, however, the increase of nanotube diameter could reduce BSA adsorption and increase FIB adsorption. Besides, the nanotube array with anatase structure can promote BSA adsorption while reduce FIB adsorption. Therefore, the TNTAs with smaller diameter and anatase crystal had good blood compatibility and cell compatibility, they can not only reduce platelet adhesion and hemolysis rate but also increase endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation. In conclusion, the nanotube arrays of the present study can be used to improve the cell compatibility and blood compatibility of the titanium implants.

Abstract
We created a blend between a TiO2 sponge with bimodal porosity and a Methyl-Ammonium Lead Iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite. The interpenetration of the two materials is effective thanks to the peculiar sponge structure. During the early stages of the growth of the TiO2 sponge, the formation of 5-10 nm-large TiO2 auto-seeds is observed which set the micro-porosity (<5 nm) of the layer, maintained during further growth. In a second stage, the auto-seeds aggregate into hundreds-of-nm-large meso-structures by their mutual shadowing of the grazing Ti flux for local oxidation. This process generates meso-pores (10-100 nm) treading across the growing layer, as accessed by tomographic synchrotron radiation coherent X-ray imaging and environmental ellipsometric porosimetry. The distributions of pore size are extracted before (>47% V) and after MAPbI3 loading, and after blend ageing, unfolding a starting pore filling above 80% in volume. The degradation of the perovskite in the blend follows a standard path towards PbI2 accompanied by the concomitant release of volatile species, with an activation energy of 0.87 eV under humid air. The use of dry nitrogen as environmental condition has a positive impact in increasing this energy by ~0.1 eV that extends the half-life of the material to 7 months under continuous operation at 60 °C.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutics delivery to bones to treat skeletal diseases or prevent postsurgical infections is challenging due to complex and solid bone structure that limits blood supply and diffusion of therapeutics administered by systemic routes to reach effective concentration. Titanium (Ti) and their alloys are employed as mainstream implant materials in orthopedics and dentistry; having superior mechanical/biocompatibility properties which could provide an alternative solution to address this problem. AREAS COVERED This review presents an overview of recent development of Ti drug-releasing implants, with emphasis on nanoengineered Titania nanotubes (TNTs) structures, for solving key problems to improve implants osseointegration, overcome inflammation and infection together with providing localized drug delivery (LDD) for bone diseases including cancer. Critical analysis of the advantages/disadvantages of developed concepts is discussed, their drug loading/releasing performances and specific applications. EXPERT OPINION LDD to bones can address many disorders and postsurgical conditions such as inflammation, implants rejection and infection. To this end, TNTs-Ti implants represent a potential promise for the development of new generation of multifunctional implants with drug release functions. Even this concept is extensively explored recently, there is a strong need for more preclinical studies using animal models to confirm the long-term safety and stability of TNTs-Ti implants for real-life medical applications.

Abstract
Limited robustness is a serious drawback for superhydrophobic coatings and degrades the performance of superhydrophobic surfaces in practical applications. Although fluororeagents have excellent durability for superhydrophobicity, their use has been restricted due to various health and environmental concerns. In this work, we describe a facile and efficient fabrication strategy for creating robust fluorine-free superhydrophobic composite coatings that are prepared by a simple dip-dry method, in which the H3BO3-incorporated SiO2-alkyl-silane coatings are deposited on woven cotton fabric surfaces followed by polydimethylsiloxane modification. The coated surface shows a large water contact angle of 157.95 ± 2° and a small sliding hysteresis angle (SHA) of 3.8 ± 0.6°, demonstrating excellent superhydrophobicity. The coated fabric surface also exhibited robustness and durability, withstanding a tape-peeling test (under 48.05 kPa) for around 80 repetitions and sandpaper rubbing (loaded 100 g) for 40 cycles. Furthermore, the coated fabric surface displayed self-healing and oil-water separation capacities. The developed superhydrophobic coatings in this study are robust, environmentally benign, and easy to fabricate, showing promising applications in textile industries.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic-hydrophilic hybrid surfaces have attracted intensive interest because of their significant academic and commercial values. However, almost all reported microdomain hydrophilicization methods rely on costly micropatterning techniques that need special instruments. Here, we report a microdrop-assisted method for microdomain hydrophilicization of a low-adhesive superhydrophobic surface and demonstrate its utility in high-efficiency nucleation and self-removal of condensate microdrops. Micrometer-sized fogdrops containing polyvinyl alcohol molecules can be selectively captured by breath figures of superhydrophobic surfaces with specific sizes and spatial distributions and can be converted into desired hydrophilic microdomains after thermal evaporation. After exploring the influence of hydrophilic microdomains' distributions and sizes to surface wettability, adhesion, and condensation dynamics, we achieved an optimal hybrid surface, which possesses 240% average microdrop density, 387% microdrop self-removal rate, and 75% average microdrop diameter as compared to the contrast superhydrophobic surface with uniform chemistry nature. This method is dispensed with special equipment, easy to implement, very cheap, and eco-friendly, which would help develop other superhydrophobic-hydrophilic hybrid surfaces with different functions such as water harvesting, dehumidification, and heat exchange.

Abstract
Water-droplet adhesions of the coatings constructed by all-polymer multiscale hierarchical particles (MHPs) were finely adjusted within the range from highly adhesive to self-cleanable. The MHPs were synthesized via thermal-induced polymerization of the reactants absorbed into self-made hollow reactors and in situ capping of nanocomplexes onto the reactors' shell simultaneously. The dynamic wettability of the prepared MHPs was tuned between water-droplet sliding and water-droplet adhering by simply controlling the type of capped nanocomplexes. Water-adhesive force changed in the range from 31.28 to 89.34 μN. In addition, the raspberry-like particles (MHPs without nanocomplex capping) were used to construct superhydrophobic rose-petal-like surface with a high water-adhesive force, which can be applied in microdroplet transportation without loss. The MHPs with appropriate nanocomplex capping were used to fabricate superhydrophobic lotus-leaf-like fabric, exhibiting excellent antifouling property and superior mechanical stability. We believe that the prepared superhydrophobic MHPs with diverse water-adhesive forces are promising in potential academic research and industrial applications.

Abstract
A nanodendritic gold/graphene-based biosensor that can perform fluorescence, SERS and electrochemical tri-modal miRNA detection in a single microdroplet has been developed. The biosensor was used to successfully perform tri-modal quantitative trace miRNA-375 detection, which enormously reduces false positive readings caused by interference and ambiguous signals, and has significant implications for use in precise physiological and pathological diagnosis.

Abstract
In the present study, polymer supported nanocomposites, consisting of bio-based poly(ethylene furanoate) polyester and TiO₂ nanoparticles, were prepared and evaluated as effective photocatalysts for anti-inflammatory/analgesic drug removal. Nanocomposites were prepared by the solvent evaporation method containing 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt% TiO₂ and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thin films of them have been prepared by the melt press and optimization of the photocatalytic procedure was conducted for the most efficient synthesized photocatalyst. Finally, mineralization was evaluated by means of Total organic carbon (TOC) reduction and ion release, while the transformation products (TPs) generated during the photocatalytic procedure were identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Abstract
A superhydrophobic ZnAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH)-La film was prepared by a hydrothermal method and further modification by laurate anions in this work. Comprehensive characterizations of this film were performed in terms of morphology, composition, structure, roughness, and wettability by scanning electronic microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, three-dimensional laser scanning confocal microscopy. The long-term corrosion protection effect of this superhydrophobic film was investigated deeply by monitoring the changes of the electrochemical impedance spectra for a long time of up to a month in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. In the meantime, the changes of the contact angle were also recorded with the evolution of the immersion time. The result indicated that the stable superhydrophobic ZnAl-LDH-La film was able to provide efficient protection for the underlying Al substrate for a long time. In addition, the capability of the superhydrophobic surface against harsh conditions, including chemical damages and physical damages, was emphatically investigated. It was found that the superhydrophobic surface was chemically stable toward acid (pH ≥ 3), alkali, and heating, and it also exhibited high ultraviolet (UV) radiation resistance. This superhydrophobic coating maintained superhydrophobicity for 7 days of radiation in an UV chamber equipped with a 40 W UV lamp (λ = 254 nm), indicating superior ability of adapting to outdoor environment. This comprehensive investigation of the superhydrophobic ZnAl-LDH-La film is considerably helpful for researchers and engineers to get deep insight into its potential for practical applications in the field of corrosion and protection.

Abstract
Plasma micro-nanotexturing is a generic technology for topographical and chemical modification of surfaces and their implementation in microfluidics and microarrays. Nanotextured surfaces with desirable chemical functionality (and wetting behavior) have shown excellent biomolecule immobilization and cell adhesion. Specifically, nanotextured hydrophilic areas show (a) strong binding of biomolecules and (b) strong adhesion of cells, while nanotextured superhydrophobic areas show null adsorption of (a) proteins and (b) cells. Here we describe the protocols for (a) biomolecule adsorption control on nanotextured surfaces for microarray fabrication and (b) cell adhesion on such surfaces. 3D plasma nanotextured® substrates are commercialized through Nanoplasmas private company, a spin-off of the National Centre for Scientific Research Demokritos.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) have drawn wide attention and been extensively applied in the field of biomedicine, due to their large specific surface area, good corrosion resistance, excellent biocompatibility, and enhanced bioactivity. This review describes the preparation of TNTs and the surface modification that entrust the nanotubes with better antibacterial property and enhanced osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Considering the contact between TNTs' surface and surrounding tissues after implantation, the interactions between TNTs (with properties including their diameter, length, wettability, and crystalline phase) and proteins, platelets, bacteria, and cells are illustrated. The state of the art in the applications of TNTs in dentistry, orthopedic implants, and cardiovascular stents are introduced. In particular, the application of TNTs in biosensing has attracted much attention due to its ability for the rapid diagnosis of diseases. Finally, the difficulties and challenges in the practical application of TNTs are also discussed.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic surfaces with hydrophilic patterns have great application potential in various fields, such as microfluidic systems and water harvesting. However, many reported preparation methods involve complicated devices and/or masks, making fabrication of these patterned surfaces time-consuming and inefficient. Here, we propose a highly efficient, simple, and maskless microplasma jet (MPJ) treatment method to prepare hydrophilic patterns such as dots, lines, and curves on superhydrophobic aluminum substrates. Contact angles, sliding angles, adhesive forces, and droplet impact behavior of the created patterns are investigated and analyzed. The prepared "dot" patterns exhibit great water adhesion, whereas the "line" patterns show anisotropic adhesion. Additionally, the MPJ treatment does not obviously change the surface structures, which makes it possible to achieve repeatable patterning on one substrate. The adhesion behavior of these patterns could be adjusted using MPJs with different diameters. MPJs with larger diameters are efficient for the creation of patterns with high water adhesion, which can be potentially used for open-channel lab-on-chip systems (e.g., continuous water transportation), whereas MPJs with smaller diameters are preferable in preparing patterns with low water adhesion for diverse applications in biomedical fields (e.g., lossless liquid droplet mixing and cell screening).

Abstract
Recently, smart interfacial materials that can reversibly transit between the superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity have aroused much attention. However, all present performances happen in air, and to realize such a smart transition in complex environments, such as oil, is still a challenge. Herein, TiO2 nanotube arrays with switchable transition between the superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity in oil are reported. The switching can be observed by alternation of UV irradiation and heating process, and the smart controllability can be ascribed to the cooperative effect between the surface nanostructures and the chemical composition variation. By using the controllable wetting performances, some applications such as under-oil droplet-based microreaction and water-removal from oil were demonstrated on our surface. This paper reports a surface with smart water wettability in oil, which could start some fresh ideas for wetting control on interfacial materials.

Abstract
The combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with high-throughput screening (HTS) has significant importance for highly sensitive and massive workload assays. Although fabrication of HTS-SERS substrates can be achieved by several methods, the high cost as well as large-equipment dependence limit their applications. Here, we report a simple method to fabricate HTS-SERS substrates within one-step process. The HTS-SERS substrate is fabricated by simply UV-irradiating a fluoroalkylsilane (FAS)-modified liquid-repellent TiO2 surface in AgNO3 solution through a photomask. Owing to the photocatalytic nature of TiO2, the UV irradiation simultaneously triggers the degradation of the attached FAS and the generation of liquid-adhesive Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on exposed area. A HTS-SERS substrate could be directly obtained after UV irradiation. The deposited Ag NPs evidently enhance Raman signals, and the significant difference between the wettability of exposed area and masked area enables fast formation of high-throughput liquid droplet arrays through a simple dragging solution process. The fabrication method is applicable to various substrate materials, to introduce additional functionalities. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 also allows us to photobleach the residual analyte and Ag NPs after detection to recycle substrate. This single-step method is a highly promising candidate for the fabrication of HTS-SERS substrates.

Abstract
This paper deals with the engineering multicomponent nanofunctionalization process considering fundamental physicochemical features of nanostructures such as surface energy, chemical bonds, and electrostatic interactions. It is pursued by modeling the surface nanopatterning and evaluating the proposed technique and the models. To this end, the effects of surface modifications of nanoclay on surface interactions, orientations, and final features of TiO2/Mt nanocolloidal textiles functionalization have been investigated. Various properties of cross-linkable polysiloxanes (XPs) treated samples as well as untreated samples with XPs have been compared to one another. The complete series of samples have been examined in terms of bioactivity and some physical properties, given to provide indirect evidence on the surface nanopatterning. The results disclosed a key role of the selected factors on the final features of treated surfaces. The effects have been thoroughly explained and modeled according to the fundamental physicochemical features. The developed models and associated hypotheses interestingly demonstrated a full agreement with all measured properties and were appreciably confirmed by FESEM evidence (direct evidence). Accordingly, a guideline has been developed to facilitate engineering and optimizing the pre-, main, and post-multicomponent nanofunctionalization procedures in terms of fundamental features of nanostructures and substrates for biomedical applications and other approaches.

Abstract
TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) have drawn tremendous attention owing to their unique architectural and physical properties. Anodizing of titanium foil has proven to be the most efficient method to fabricate well-aligned TNTs, which, however, usually produces amorphous TNTs and needs further thermal annealing. Recently, a water-assisted crystallization strategy has been proposed and investigated by both science and engineering communities. This method is very efficient and energy saving, and it circumvents the drawbacks of thermal sintering approach. In this paper, we review the recent research progress in this kind of low-temperature crystallization approach. Here, various synthetic methods are summarized, and the mechanisms of the amorphous-crystalline transformation are analyzed. The fundamental properties and applications of the low-temperature products are also discussed. Furthermore, it is proved that the water-assisted crystallization approach is not only applicable to TNTs but also to crystallizing other metal oxides.

Abstract
Droplets slip and bounce on superhydrophobic surfaces, enabling remarkable functions in biology and technology. These surfaces often contain microscopic irregularities in surface texture and chemical composition, which may affect or even govern macroscopic wetting phenomena. However, effective ways to quantify and map microscopic variations of wettability are still missing, because existing contact angle and force-based methods lack sensitivity and spatial resolution. Here, we introduce wetting maps that visualize local variations in wetting through droplet adhesion forces, which correlate with wettability. We develop scanning droplet adhesion microscopy, a technique to obtain wetting maps with spatial resolution down to 10 µm and three orders of magnitude better force sensitivity than current tensiometers. The microscope allows characterization of challenging non-flat surfaces, like the butterfly wing, previously difficult to characterize by contact angle method due to obscured view. Furthermore, the technique reveals wetting heterogeneity of micropillared model surfaces previously assumed to be uniform.
