Abstract
Biomimetic slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have emerged as a promising solution to solve the limitations of superhydrophobic surfaces, such as inadequate durability in corrosion protection and a propensity for frosting. However, the challenge of ensuring strong, lasting adhesion on diverse materials to enhance the durability of the lubricant layer remains. The research addresses this by leveraging amyloid phase-transitioned lysozyme (PTL) as an adhesive interlayer, conferring stable attachment of SLIPS across a variety of substrates, including metals, inorganics, and polymers. The silica-textured interface robustly secures the lubricant with a notably low sliding angle of 1.15°. PTL-mediated adhesion fortifies the silicone oil attachment to the substrate, ensuring the retention of its repellent efficacy amidst mechanical stressors like ultrasonication, water scrubbing, and centrifugation. The integration of robust adhesion, cross-substrate compatibility, and durability under stress affords the PTL-modified SLIPS exceptional anti-fouling, anti-icing, and anti-corrosion properties, marking it as a leading solution for advanced protective applications.

Abstract
Water-based lubricants have the advantages of low cost, easy cleaning, and environmental friendliness, and are suitable for various lubrication applications. However, the limited tribological properties of pure water-based lubricants restrict their use. To improve these properties, water-based lubrication additives can be employed. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is widely used in tribology because of its stability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, but it has poor dispersion in water. To address this, MoS2 functionalized with poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium salt) (MoS2+PSPMA) is successfully prepared by grafting polymer brushes onto MoS2 using ultraviolet light. The results show that MoS2+PSPMA exhibits significantly better dispersion stability in water compared to unmodified MoS2. Additionally, MoS2+PSPMA demonstrates superior tribological properties as a water-based lubrication additive. During reciprocating friction, MoS2+PSPMA disperses effectively in water, forming a protective film on the wear surface that reduces friction. As an additive, MoS2+PSPMA indicates good dispersion and a low friction coefficient in water, positioning it as a promising candidate for future water-based lubricants.

Abstract
The conventional Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surface (SLIPS) encounters challenges such as silicone oil leakage and complex manufacturing of rough substrate structures. Thus, it is crucial to develop a lubricant that is highly adaptable and less prone to loss for surface structures; a temperature-controlled method of infusing oleogel into a superhydrophobic surface (SHS) is presented in this paper. This approach draws inspiration from the characteristics of Nepenthes pitcher plant structures, albeit without the need for intricate pore-making or nanowire structures. It is demonstrated that this resulting surface has exceptional fog harvesting capability, with a fog harvesting efficiency of 0.3222 g cm-2 min-1, which is twice as high as that of the laser aluminum (Al) sheet (0.1553 g cm-2 min-1). Moreover, the surface exhibits remarkable anti-icing properties, significantly prolonging the icing time by 21-fold compared to the pure Al sheet while maintaining a minimal ice adhesion force of only 0.16 N. Additionally, the surface showcases excellent antifouling performance, because contaminated droplets readily slide off without leaving residue. The environmentally friendly and straightforward preparation process ensures that it is suitable for large-scale industrial applications.

Abstract
Surface contamination and friction result in significant energy losses with widespread environmental impact. In the present work, we developed fluorine-free super-slippery surfaces employing environmentally friendly and simple biofuel-based flame treatment of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Through a unique combination of processing parameters, highly transparent (>90%) and flexible films were engineered with omniphobic, anti-icing, and ultra-low friction properties. The processed films showed an extremely low tilting angle (<5°) and contact angle hysteresis (<4°) against different liquids, even under subzero temperatures. The coefficient of friction (COF) reduced to 0.01 after processing compared to ∼1 for PDMS. Extremely low ice adhesion of <20 kPa and enhanced freezing time ensured anti-icing behavior. The exceptional multidimensional traits were derived from the extremely stable silicone lubricant layer ensured by the hierarchically structured wrinkles. Wind tunnel tests showed that an air drag velocity of less than 0.5 m/s was sufficient to initiate droplet motion, highlighting low interfacial friction that leads to an anti-staining nature. Sustaining the self-cleaning and anti-staining characteristics, the processed surface showed utmost durability under different harsh conditions. The super-slippery surfaces with multifunctional characteristics fabricated through a sustainable route can be effectively used for various engineering and industrial applications.

Abstract
Steel structures located in subtropical marine climates face harsh conditions such as strong sunlight and heavy rain, and they are extremely corroded. In this study, a waterborne coating with excellent corrosion resistance, hydrophobic ability, high-temperature resistance and high density was successfully prepared by using modified nanoscale titania powders and grafted polymers. The effects of three modifiers on titania nanoparticles and waterborne coatings' properties were studied independently. The experimental results showed that the activation index of the modification employing methacryloxy silane reached 97.5%, which achieved the best modification effect at 64.4 °C for 43.3 min. The waterborne coating with nanoscale titania modified by methacryloxy silane exhibited the best hydrophobic effect, with a drop contact angle of 115.4° and excellent heat resistance of up to 317.2 °C. The application of the waterborne modified coating in steel structures under subtropical maritime climates showed that the waterborne titania coatings demonstrated excellent resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and harsh sunlight, with a maximum service life of up to five years. Economic analysis indicated that, considering a conservative three-year effective lifespan, this coating could save more than 50% in cost compared with conventional industrial coatings. Finally, the strengthening mechanism of the polymer coatings with modified nanoscale titania was analyzed.

Abstract
The adhesion of sticky liquid foods to a contacting surface can cause many technical challenges. The food manufacturing sector is confronted with many critical issues that can be overcome with long-lasting and highly nonwettable coatings. Nanoengineered biomimetic surfaces with distinct wettability and tunable interfaces have elicited increasing interest for their potential use in addressing a broad variety of scientific and technological applications, such as antifogging, anti-icing, antifouling, antiadhesion, and anticorrosion. Although a large number of nature-inspired surfaces have emerged, food-safe nonwetted surfaces are still in their infancy, and numerous structural design aspects remain unexplored. This Review summarizes the latest scientific research regarding the key principles, fabrication methods, and applications of three important categories of nonwettable surfaces: superhydrophobic, liquid-infused slippery, and re-entrant structured surfaces. The Review is particularly focused on new insights into the antiwetting mechanisms of these nanopatterned structures and discovering efficient platform methodologies to guide their rational design when in contact with food materials. A detailed description of the current opportunities, challenges, and future scale-up possibilities of these nanoengineered surfaces in the food industry is also provided.

Abstract
The flexible manipulation of underwater gas bubbles on solid substrates has attracted considerable research interest from scientists in the fields of water electrolysis, bubble microreactions, drug delivery, and heat transfer. Inspired by the oxygen-binding mechanisms of aquatic organisms, scientists have designed a series of interfacial materials for use in collecting gases, detecting and grading bubbles, and conducting microbubble reactions. Aerophilic surfaces are commonly used in underwater bubble manipulation platforms due to their excellent gas-trapping properties. However, during bubble transport, some of the bubbles are retained in the rough structure of the aerophilic surface and cause gas loss, which in the long run reduces the gas transport function. In addition, the aerophilic surface is prone to failure in high-humidity and high-pressure underwater environments. The lubricant-infused surface features an oil layer that remains stable on a rough substrate and is immiscible with water. Additionally, the bubbles are transported over the oil layer without causing losses other than those dissolved in water. These attributes make it more favorable than the aerophilic surface. Inspired by the unique properties of Nepenthes and cactus spines, we developed a patterned slippery surface [patterned lubricant-infused surface (PLIS)] through laser etching and ammonia etching that facilitates the coexistence of superaerophobic and aerophilic surfaces. The PLIS executes bubble capture utilizing a difference in wettability measuring 78°, transports bubbles through Laplace force and buoyancy, and regulates bubble release by restricting the contact area on the PLIS. The PLIS can be prepared rapidly and affordably in just about an hour, and its potential for large-scale production is high. Following tests for shear, acid and alkali resistance, and corrosion resistance, the PLIS exhibited impressive weathering resistance and appears to have potential for application in some extreme environments.

Abstract
The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients. Polymer brush coating provides a convenient and efficient method for surface modification while ensuring the preservation of the substrate's original properties. The current research has focused on a "trial and error" method to finding polymer brushes with superior lubricity qualities, which is time-consuming and expensive, as obtaining effective and long-lasting lubricity properties for polymer brushes is difficult. This review summarizes recent research advances in the biomedical field in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of lubricating and antifouling polymer brushes, which follow the polymer brush development process. This review begins by examining various approaches to polymer brush design, including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning, from the fundamentals of polymer brush lubrication. Recent advancements in polymer brush design are then synthesized and potential avenues for future research are explored. Emphasis is placed on the burgeoning field of zwitterionic polymer brushes, and highlighting the broad prospects of supramolecular polymer brushes based on host-guest interactions in the field of self-repairing polymer brush applications. The review culminates by providing a summary of methodologies for characterizing the structural and functional attributes of polymer brushes. It is believed that a development approach for polymer brushes based on "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" can be created, easing the challenge of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricating qualities and enabling the on-demand creation of coatings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical devices have severe lubrication modification needs, and surface lubrication modification by polymer brush coating is currently the most promising means. However, the design and preparation of polymer brushes often involves "iterative testing" to find polymer brushes with excellent lubrication properties, which is both time-consuming and expensive. This review proposes a polymer brush development process based on the "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" strategy and summarizes recent research advances and trends in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of polymer brushes. This review will help polymer brush researchers by alleviating the challenges of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricity and promises to enable the on-demand construction of polymer brush lubrication coatings.

Abstract
Hyaluronidase (HAase) is a biomarker for cancer, and its detection is of great significance for early diagnosis. However, the requirement of sophisticated instruments, tedious operation procedures, and labeled molecules of conventional HAase biosensing methods hampers their widespread applications. Herein, we report a portable slippery viscosity-sensing platform with time readout for the first time and demonstrate HAase and tannic acid (TA, HAase inhibitor) detection as a model system. HAase specifically cleaves hyaluronic acid (HA) and decreases HA solution viscosity, thereby shortening the aqueous droplet's sliding time on a slippery surface. Thus, the HA solution viscosity alteration due to enzymatic hydrolysis is used to quantify the HAase concentration through the difference in the sliding time of the aqueous droplets on a slippery surface. The developed HAase sensing platform exhibits high sensitivity with a minimum detection limit of 0.23 U/mL and excellent specificity without the use of specialized instruments and labeled molecules. HAase detection in actual urine samples by a standard addition method is performed as well. Moreover, the quantitative detection of TA with an IC50 value of 37.68 ± 1.38 μg/mL is achieved. As an equipment-free, label-free, and high-portability sensing platform, this method holds promise in developing a user-friendly and inexpensive point-of-care testing (POCT) device for HAase detection, and its use can be extended to analyze other analytes with different stimuli-responsive polymers for great universality and expansibility in biosensing applications.

Abstract
Porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films with special surface wettability have potential applications in the biomedical, environmental, and structural mechanical fields. However, preparing porous PDMS films with a regular surface pattern using conventional methods, such as chemical foaming or physical pore formation, is challenging. In this study, porous PDMS films with a regular surface pattern are designed and prepared using 3D printing to ensure the formation of controllable and regular physical structures. First, the effect of the surface wettability of glass substrates with different surface energies (commercial hydrophilic glass and hydrophobic glass (F-glass) obtained by treating regular glass with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl-trichlorosilane) on the structural characteristics of the 3D printed PDMS filaments is investigated systematically. Additionally, the effect of the printing speed and the surface wettability of the glass substrate on the PDMS filament morphology is investigated synchronously. Next, using the F-glass substrate and an optimized printing speed, the effects of the number of printed layers on both the morphologies of the individual PDMS filaments and porous PDMS films, and the surface wettability of the films are studied. This study reveals that regularly patterned porous PDMS films with distinct structural designs but the same controllable surface wettability, such as anisotropic surface wettability and superhydrophobicity, can be easily fabricated through 3D printing. This study provides a new method for fabricating porous PDMS films with a specific surface wettability, which can potentially expand the application of porous PDMS films.

Abstract
Ice is omnipresent in our daily life and possesses intrinsic slipperiness as a result of the formation of a quasi-liquid layer. Thus, the functional surfaces inspired by ice show great prospects in widespread fields from surface lubrication to antifouling coatings. Herein, we report an ice-inspired polymeric slippery surface (II-PSS) constructed by a self-lubricating liquid layer and a densely surface-grafted polymer brush. The polymer brush layer could act as a homogeneous matrix to capture lubricant molecules via strong and dynamic dipole-dipole interactions to form a stable quasi-liquid layer that resembles the ice surface. The II-PSS can be easily fabricated on various solid substrates (e.g., silicon, glass, aluminum oxide, plastics, etc.) with excellent smoothness (roughness of ∼0.4 nm), optical transmittance (∼94.5%), as well as repellence toward diverse liquids with different surface tensions (22.3-72.8 mN m-1), pH values (1-14), salinity, and organic pollutants. Further investigation shows that the II-PSS exhibits extremely low attachment for proteins and marine organisms (e.g., algae and mussels) for over one month. These results demonstrate a robust and promising strategy for high-performance antifouling coatings.

Abstract
Bioinspired slippery surfaces (BSSs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their antifouling, drag reduction, and self-cleaning properties. Accordingly, various technical terms have been proposed for describing BSSs based on specific surface characteristics. However, the terminology can often be confusing, with similar-sounding terms having different meanings. Additionally, some terms fail to fully or accurately describe BSS characteristics, such as the surface wettability of lubricants (hydrophilic or hydrophobic), surface wettability anisotropy (anisotropic or isotropic), and substrate morphology (porous or smooth). Therefore, a timely and thorough review is required to clarify and distinguish the various terms used in BSS literature. This review initially categorizes BSSs into four types: slippery solid surfaces (SSSs), slippery liquid-infused surfaces (SLISs), slippery liquid-like surfaces (SLLSs), and slippery liquid-solid surfaces (SLSSs). Because SLISs have been the primary research focus in this field, we thoroughly review their design and fabrication principles, which can also be applied to the other three types of BSS. Furthermore, we discuss the existing BSS fabrication methods, smart BSS systems, antifouling applications, limitations of BSS, and future research directions. By providing comprehensive and accurate definitions of various BSS types, this review aims to assist researchers in conveying their results more clearly and gaining a better understanding of the literature.

Abstract
The icing of transmission conductor seriously threatens the safe operation of power grids. Slippery lubricant-infused porous surface (SLIPS) has shown great potential for anti-icing applications. However, aluminum stranded conductors have complex surfaces, and the current SLIPSs are almost prepared and studied on small flat plates. Herein, the construction of SLIPS on the conductor was realized through anodic oxidation and the anti-icing mechanism of the slippery conductor was studied. Compared to the untreated conductor, the SLIPS-conductor reduces the icing weight by 77% in the glaze icing test and shows very low ice-adhesion strength (7.0 kPa). The excellent anti-icing performance of the slippery conductor is attributed to the droplet impact dynamics, icing delay, and lubricant stability. The dynamic behavior of water droplets is most affected by the complex shape of the conductor surface. Specifically, the impact of the droplet on the conductor surface is asymmetric and the droplet can slide along the depression in low-temperature and high-humidity environments. The stable lubricant of SLIPS increases both the nucleation energy barriers and the heat transfer resistance, which greatly delays the freezing time of droplets. Besides, the nanoporous substrate, the compatibility of the substrate with the lubricant, and the lubricant characteristics contribute to the lubricant stability. This work provides theoretical and experimental guidance on anti-icing strategies for transmission lines.

Abstract
Sessile drop evaporation and condensation on slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) is crucial for many applications. However, its modeling is complex since the infused lubricant forms a wetting ridge around the drop close to the contact line, which partially blocks the free surface area and decreases the drop evaporation rate. Although a good model was available after 2015, the effects of initial lubricant heights (hoil)i above the pattern, and the corresponding initial ridge heights (hr)i, lubricant viscosity, and solid pattern type were not well studied. This work fills this gap where water drop evaporations from SLIPS, which are obtained by infusing silicone oils (20 and 350 cSt) onto hydrophobized Si wafer micropatterns having both cylindrical and square prism pillars, are investigated under constant relative humidity and temperature conditions. With the increase of (hoil)i, the corresponding (hr)i increased almost linearly on lower parts of the drops for all SLIPS samples, resulting in slower drop evaporation rates. A novel diffusion-limited evaporation equation from SLIPS is derived depending on the available free liquid-air interfacial area, ALV, which represents the unblocked part of the total drop surface. The calculation of the diffusion constant, D, of water vapor in air from (dALV/dt) values obtained by drop evaporation was successful up to a threshold value of (hoil)i = 8 μm within ±7%, and large deviations (13-27%) were obtained when (hoil)i > 8 μm, possibly due to the formation of thin silicone oil cloaking layers on drop surfaces, which partially blocked evaporation. The increase of infused silicone oil viscosity caused only a slight increase (12-17%) in drop lifetimes. The effects of the geometry and size of the pillars on the drop evaporation rates were minimal. These findings may help optimize the lubricant oil layer thickness and viscosity used for SLIPS to achieve low operational costs in the future.

Abstract
The static wetting behavior of drops on surfaces with thin lubricating films is very different compared to solid surfaces. Due to the slow dynamics of the wetting ridge, it is challenging to predict the apparent contact angles of such drops. It is hypothesized that for a sinking drop on a lubricated surface, quasi-static wetting morphology can be numerically computed from the knowledge of interfacial energies, lubricant thickness, and drop volume. In this study, we use Surface Evolver to numerically compute the static wetting morphology for the four-phase system using a quasi-static approach with a sinking time similar to the early-intermediate times, and the results agree well with the corresponding experiments. We find that the apparent contact angles depend significantly on the lubricant thickness and substrate wettability compared to other parameters.

Abstract
Energy losses due to various tribological phenomena pose a significant challenge to sustainable development. These energy losses also contribute toward increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Various attempts have been made to reduce energy consumption through the use of various surface engineering solutions. The bioinspired surfaces can provide a sustainable solution to address these tribological challenges by minimizing friction and wear. The current study majorly focuses on the recent advancements in the tribological behavior of bioinspired surfaces and bio-inspired materials. The miniaturization of technological devices has increased the need to understand micro- and nano-scale tribological behavior, which could significantly reduce energy wastage and material degradation. Integrating advanced research methods is crucial in developing new aspects of structures and characteristics of biological materials. Depending upon the interaction of the species with the surrounding, the present study is divided into segments depicting the tribological behavior of the biological surfaces inspired by animals and plants. The mimicking of bio-inspired surfaces resulted in significant noise, friction, and drag reduction, promoting the development of anti-wear and anti-adhesion surfaces. Along with the reduction in friction through the bioinspired surface, a few studies providing evidence for the enhancement in the frictional properties were also depicted.

Abstract
Water-repellent interfaces with high performance have emerged as an indispensable platform for developing advanced materials and devices. Inspired by the pitcher plant, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) with reliable hydrophobicity have proven to possess great potential for various applications in droplet and bubble manipulation, droplet energy harvesting, condensation, fog collection, anti-icing, and anti-biofouling due to their excellent properties such as persistent surface hydrophobicity, molecular smoothness, and fluidity. This review aims to introduce the development history of interaction between SLIPSs and fluids as well as the design principles, preparation methods, and various applications of some of the more typical SLIPSs. The fluid manipulation strategies of the slippery surfaces have been proposed including the wettability pattern, oriented micro-structure, and geometric gradient. At last, the application prospects of SLIPSs in various fields and the challenges in the design and fabrication of slippery surfaces are analyzed. We envision that this review can provide an overview of the fluid manipulating processes on slippery surfaces for researchers in both academic and industrial fields.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reducing the protein adsorption of nanoparticles (NPs) as drug carriers to slow their rapid clearance by macrophages uptake is a critical challenge for NPs clinical translational applications. Despite extensive research efforts to inhibit cellular uptake, including covering biological agents or surface chemical coatings to impart "stealth" properties to NPs, their stability remains insufficient. OBJECTIVES Developed a novel surface modification technology based on a physical infusion engineering approach to achieve persistent inhibition of protein adhesion and cellular uptake by nanocarriers. METHODS The nanoparticles were prepared based on conventional drug carrier mesoporous silica NPs through a two-step process. A functional nanoscale slippery surface was formed by grafting "liquid-like" brushes on the particles surface, and then a lubricant-entrenched slippery surfaces (LESS) was formed by infusing silicone oil lubricant into the entire surface. Co-incubation with macrophages (in vitro and in vivo) was used to examine the anti-uptake properties of modified NPs. The anti-adhesion properties of LESS coating surfaces to various liquids, proteins and cells were used to analyze the anti-uptake mechanism. Loaded with drugs, combined with tumor models, to evaluate the drug utilization of modified NPs. RESULTS Relying on the stable and slippery LESS coating, the modified surface could prevent the adhesion of various liquids and effectively shield against the adhesion of proteins and cells, as well as remarkably reduce macrophage cellular uptake in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the LESS coating does not affect cell activity and allows NPs to be loaded with drugs, significantly improving the utilization of drugs in vitro and in vivo. This allows the NPs to reach to the target tumor site for drug delivery without active clearance by macrophages. CONCLUSION Our research introduces a new nanocarrier technology to improve anti-biofouling performance and stealth efficiency that will facilitate the development of nanomedicines for clinical transformation applications.

Abstract
Liquid lubricant of low affinity makes slippery coatings widely used in lubricating, anti-biofouling, anti-icing, fluid guiding, and drag reduction. Two critical challenges, however, remain in the practical application of slippery coatings consisting of liquid lubricants: (1) universality regardless of roughness and chemical composition of substrates, (2) stability of surface lubricity against evaporation. Herein, a chemical method is reported to create a universal and stable slippery lubricant-adhesive cooperated coating (SLACC) through acid catalyzed dehydration reaction between the phenolic hydroxyl of polydopamine (PDA), with universal (for challenge-1) and strong (for challenge-2) adhesion properties, and liquid-like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), with lubricant properties. Through overlying PDMS on PDA, a spatial gradient interpenetration of chemical combined PDA and PDMS leaving lubricant PDMS at the outermost of coating is achieved. This structure contributes to the following performances of SLACC: nearly universality suitable for 100 different abiotic or biotic substrates and stability sustainable for long-term usages, UV radiating, refrigerating, hot air drying, freeze drying, knife scratch and abrasion. This proposed strategy is envisioned anti-fouling from plane to tube and exhibits drag reduction in confined space.

Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 305:102707. [PMID: 35640314 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Corrosion of metallic materials is a long-standing problem in many engineering fields. Various organic coatings have been widely applied in anticorrosion of metallic materials over the past decades. However, the protective performance of many organic coatings is limited due to the undesirable local failure of the coatings caused by micro-pores and cracks in the coating matrix. Recently, metal organic frameworks (MOFs)-based surfaces and coatings (MOFBSCs) have exhibited great potential in constructing protective materials on metallic substrates with efficient and durable anticorrosion performance. The tailorable porous structure, flexible composition, numerous active sites, and controllable release properties of MOFs make them an ideal platform for developing various protective functionalities, such as self-healing property, superhydrophobicity, and physical barrier against corrosion media. MOFs-based anticorrosion surfaces and coatings can be divided into two categories: the composite surfaces/coatings using MOFs-based passive/active nanofillers and the surfaces/coatings using MOFs as functional substrate support. In this work, the state-of-the-art fabrication strategies of the MOFBSCs are systematically reviewed. The anticorrosion mechanisms of MOFBSCs and functions of the MOFs in the coating matrix are discussed accordingly. Additionally, we highlight both traditional and emerging electrochemical techniques for probing protective performances and mechanisms of MOFBSCs. The remaining challenging issues and perspectives are also discussed.
