Abstract
The operation of aerospace equipment is often affected by icing and frosting. In order to reduce the loss caused by icing in the industrial field, it is an effective method to prepare superhydrophobic coatings by modifying nanoparticles with low surface energy materials. In order to explore a method of preparing a superhydrophobic surface that can be popularized, a two-step spraying method was employed to create a superhydrophobic coating. The surface was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimal preparation process was obtained by analyzing the surface contact angle data. The results showed that stearic acid was grafted onto the surface of TiO2 by esterification reaction. The existence of long methyl and methylene hydrophobic groups in the tail of the stearic acid molecule made the modified TiO2 hydrophobic. It is verified that water molecules have strong adsorption on the surface of unmodified TiO2. Stearic acid molecules can reduce the interfacial energy in the system.

Zhang B, Chen Y, Song J. A Superhydrophobic Surface on a Superalloy Substrate with Properties of High Mechanical Strength and Self-Cleaning of Carbon Deposition. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:508.

Abstract
Laser processing is an efficient method for fabricating a superhydrophobic surface and has attracted much attention due to its multifunctionality. However, excessive laser processing, such as laser beam overlap and multiple scans, generates both a thick, brittle recast layer and a thin material thickness, thereby greatly reducing the mechanical strength of the substrate. In addition, there is no report on fabricating a superhydrophobic surface on a superalloy substrate whose application includes a self-cleaning property. This work proposes the fabrication of a superhydrophobic surface on a superalloy substrate with high mechanical strength by optimizing the laser processing parameters including laser power, scanning speed, line spacing, and number of scans. We found that the microstructures required by superhydrophobicity could be constructed with a single laser scan. which could guarantee a minimal loss of the mechanical strength. The fabricated superhydrophobic surface on the superalloy substrate exhibited excellent self-cleaning of carbon deposition, showing good application potential in the aero engine field.

Hydrophobicity of molecular-scale textured surfaces: The case of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, an atomistic perspective. J Chem Phys 2023; 159:184709.

Abstract
Hydrophobicity has proven fundamental in an inexhaustible amount of everyday applications. Material hydrophobicity is determined by chemical composition and geometrical characteristics of its macroscopic surface. Surface roughness or texturing enhances intrinsic hydrophilic or hydrophobic characteristics of a material. Here we consider crystalline surfaces presenting molecular-scale texturing typical of crystalline porous materials, e.g., metal-organic frameworks. In particular, we investigate one such material with remarkable hydrophobic qualities, ZIF-8. We show that ZIF-8 hydrophobicity is driven not only by its chemical composition but also its sub-nanoscale surface corrugations, a physical enhancement rare amongst hydrophobes. Studying ZIF-8's hydrophobic properties is challenging as experimentally it is difficult to distinguish between the materials' and the macroscopic corrugations' contributions to the hydrophobicity. The computational contact angle determination is also difficult as the standard "geometric" technique of liquid nanodroplet deposition is prone to many artifacts. Here, we characterise ZIF-8 hydrophobicity via: (i) the "geometric" approach and (ii) the "energetic" method, utilising the Young-Dupré formula and computationally determining the liquid-solid adhesion energy. Both approaches reveal nanoscale Wenzel-like bathing of the corrugated surface. Moreover, we illustrate the importance of surface linker termination in ZIF-8 hydrophobicity, which reduces when varied from sp3 N to sp2 N termination. We also consider halogenated analogues of the methyl-imidazole linker, which promote the transition from nanoWenzel-like to nanoCassie-Baxter-like states, further enhancing surface hydrophobicity. Present results reveal the complex interface physics and chemistry between water and complex porous, molecular crystalline surfaces, providing a hint to tune their hydrophobicity.

Abstract
Due to their exceptional anti-icing, anti-corrosion, and anti-drag qualities, biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces, which are widely employed in the aerospace, automotive, electronic, and biomedical industries, have raised significant concern. However, further applications in other domains have been hampered by the poor mechanical and chemical durability of superwetting metallic surfaces, which can result in metal fatigue and corrosion. The potential for anti-corrosion, anti-contamination, anti-icing, oil/water separation, and oil transportation on surfaces with superwettability has increased in recent years due to the advancement of research in biomimetic superwetting interface theory and practice. Recent developments in functionalized biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces were summarized in this paper. Firstly, a detailed presentation of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces with unique capabilities was made. The problems with the long-term mechanical and chemical stability of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces were then examined, along with potential solutions. Finally, in an effort to generate fresh concepts for the study of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces, the applications of superwetting metallic surfaces in various domains were discussed in depth. The future direction of biomimetic metal-derived superwetting surfaces was also addressed.

Abstract
Corrosion protection of metals is of paramount importance in different sectors of industry. One of the emerging techniques to prevent or reduce the damaging effects of this phenomenon is to apply superhydrophobic coatings on the susceptible surfaces. In this study, corrosion protection of steel is investigated by fabricating superhydrophobic coatings, using one-step electrodeposition process of nanosilica hybrid film and spraying process of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) on steel surface and also preparation of micro/nano-composite coatings. The anti-corrosion behavior of the nanosilica hybrid film and PTFE coating with two types of microparticles including Al2O3 powder and glass beads in primer layer, and overcoat layer with and without SiO2 nanoparticles is studied. TOEFL polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests are conducted on coated steel samples to examine their corrosion performance in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at a temperature of 25 °C. The results showed that the combination of superhydrophobic properties and low conductivity significantly improves the corrosion resistance. Evaluating the effect of adding SiO2 nanoparticles to the overcoat layer in PTFE coating showed that the nanoparticles improve the corrosion resistance of PTFE coatings by sealing up some defects and pores in the coating. Investigation of corrosion resistance of coatings showed that, the corrosion resistance of nanosilica film is lower than that of PTFE coatings. The best sample obtained in this study, namely the PTFE coating with glass beads microparticles in primer layer and SiO2 nanoparticles in overcoat layer, reduced the corrosion rate by nearly 80 times.

Abstract
Graphene exhibits great potential for the corrosion protection of metals, because of its low permeability and high chemical stability. To enhance the anticorrosion ability of Cu, we use plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to prepare a vertically oriented few-layer graphene (VFG) coating on the surface of Cu. The Cu coated with VFG shows superhydrophobic surface with a contact angle of ~150°. The VFG coating is used to significantly increase the anticorrosion ability, enhanced by the chemical stability and the unique geometric structure of vertically oriented graphene. The corrosion rate of VFG-Cu was about two orders of magnitude lower than that of bare Cu. This work highlights the special synthesized way of PECVD and superhydrophobic surface of vertical structures of graphene as coatings for various applications.

Abstract
The superhydrophobic coatings with excellent performance are prepared on the brass substrate to improve its application limitations in real production. In this article, the superhydrophobicity was obtained by the modification of TiO2 nanoparticles, and the FAS/STA-TiO2 superhydrophobic coating of the composite structure was obtained by modification of 1, 1, 2H, 2H-perfluoroquine trimethyl silane (FAS). By using scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), X-ray spectrometers (EDSs), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, the surface morphology, chemical composition, and functional group structure of the samples were analyzed in turn. Experiments show that the water contact angle of the FAS-modified STA-TiO2 coating reaches 161.3°, and the sliding angle is close to 1.2°. Based on the chalk dust containment, it has enabled noticeable self-cleaning properties. The composite superhydrophobic coating also presents enhanced adhesive strength compared with the single coating by the tape peeling experiment. Moreover, the composite coating has a corrosion current density as low as 8.41 × 10-7 A/cm2, and the largest |Z| in low frequency in a 3.5% NaCl solution to achieve better protection of the brass substrate. It is also not difficult to see that FAS/STA-TiO2 coating can not only improve the corrosion resistance of brass substrates but also be applied to other metal substrates.

Abstract
The development of a superhydrophobic and, even, water-repellent metal alloy surface is reported utilizing a simple, fast, and economical way that requires minimum demands on the necessary equipment and/or methods used. The procedure involves an initial irradiation of the metallic specimen using a femtosecond laser, which results in a randomly roughened surface, that is subsequently followed by placing the item in an environment under moderate vacuum (pressure 10-2 mbar) and/or under low-temperature heating (at temperatures below 120 °C). The effects of both temperature and low pressure on the surface properties (water contact angle and contact angle hysteresis) are investigated and surfaces with similar superhydrophobicity are obtained in both cases; however, a significant difference concerning their water-repellent ability is obtained. The surfaces that remained under vacuum were water-repellent, exhibiting very high values of contact angle with a very low contact angle hysteresis, whereas the surfaces, which underwent thermal processing, exhibited superhydrophobicity with high water adhesion, where water droplets did not roll off even after a significant inclination of the surface. The kinetics of the development of superhydrophobic behavior was investigated as well. The findings were understood when the surface roughness characteristics were considered together with the chemical composition of the surface.

Abstract
Evaluation of the hydrophobic/hydrophilic interaction individually between the sorbent and target compounds in sample pretreatment is a big challenge. Herein, a smart titanium substrate with switchable surface wettability was fabricated and selected as the sorbent for the solution. The titanium wires and meshes were fabricated by simple hydrothermal etching and chemical modification so as to construct the superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces. The micro/nano hierarchical structures of the formed TiO2 nanoparticles in situ on the surface of Ti substrates exhibited the switchable surface wettability. After UV irradiation for about 15.5 h, the superhydrophobic substrates became superhydrophilic. The morphologies and element composition of the wires were observed by SEM, EDS, and XRD, and their surface wettabilities were measured using the Ti mesh by contact angle goniometer. The pristine hydrophilic wire, the resulting superhydrophilic wire, superhydrophobic wire, and the UV-irradiated superhydrophilic wire were filled into a stainless tube as the sorbent instead of the sample loop of a six-port valve for on-line in-tube solid-phase microextraction. When employed in conjunction with HPLC, four kinds of wires were comparatively applied to extract six estrogens in water samples. The optimal conditions for the preconcentration and separation of target compounds were obtained with a sample volume of 60 mL, an injection rate of 2 mL/min, a desorption time of 2 min, and a mobile phase of acetonile/water (47/53, v/v). The results showed that both the superhydrophilic wire and UV-irradiated wire had the highest extraction efficiency for the polar compounds of estrogens with the enrichment factors in the range of 20-177, while the superhydrophobic wire exhibited the highest extraction efficiency for the non-polar compounds of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). They demonstrated that extraction efficiency was mainly dependent on the surface wettability of the sorbent and the polarity of the target compounds, which was in accordance with the molecular theory of like dissolves like.

Abstract
A simple and practical spray method is employed to prepare a PVDF/PFOTES-SiO2 superhydrophobic composite coating on the AZ31B Mg alloy substrate. The morphology, composition, and water contact angle (CA) were measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and contact angle measuring instrument. Hydrophilic nano-SiO2 is modified by PFOTES to obtain hydrophobicity. The influence of the mass of PFOTES-SiO2 to PVDF on the hydrophobic properties was studied. The wear resistance and stability of the composite coating have been investigated by immersion test, cross-cut adhesion test and friction test. Additionally, the corrosion resistance was measured by electrochemical workstation and salt spray corrosion test. The CA of PVDF/PFOTES-SiO2 coating is 161.3° and the sliding angle (SAs) is less than 2°. After 10× the sandpaper friction test, the superhydrophobic contact angle of the coating remained above 155°, and the sliding angle was less than 5°, which indicated that the prepared coating is a strong superhydrophobic coating with good wear resistance. The results of the electrochemical tests show that the superhydrophobic coating improved the anti-corrosion performance of Mg alloy, and the water contact angle is greater than 150° after 168 h salt spray corrosion test. Due to its excellent superhydrophobicity, wear resistance and anti-corrosion properties, the robust PVDF/PFOTES-SiO2 coating is considered to have great potential for future applications in the automotive and marine industries.

Abstract
Design of hierarchical micromorphology represents an important strategy for developing functional surfaces but has yet to be achieved for promising long-term dropwise condensation. Herein, micropapillaes overlaid with nanograss were created to enhance dropwise condensation. By analyzing the nucleation and evolution of the condensate droplets, we elucidated that these hierarchical micro-nanostructures topologized tapered gaps, which produced upward pressure, to achieve spontaneous dislodging of condensate microdroplet out of gaps, and then to trigger microdroplet navigation before finally departing from the surface by coalescence-induced jumping. The high mobility of condensate delayed flooding and contributed to a very high heat transfer coefficient of 218 kW·m-2·K-1. Moreover, these micropapillaes served as forts that protected the nanograss from being destroyed, resulting in improved mechanical and chemical robustness. Our work proposed new examples of topology creation for long-term dropwise condensation heat transfer and shed light on application integration of such promising functional surfaces.

Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys are promising candidate materials for medical implants because they possess excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties comparable to bone. Furthermore, secondary surgical operations for removal could be eliminated due to magnesium's biodegradability. However, magnesium's degradation rate in aqueous environments is too high for most applications. It has been reported that hydrophobic textured surfaces can trap a surface gas layer which acts as a protective barrier against corrosion. However, prior studies have not investigated separately the role of the texture and hydrophobic treatments on magnesium corrosion rates. In this study, pillar-shaped microstructure patterns were fabricated on polished high purity magnesium surfaces by ablation with a picosecond laser. Some micropatterned samples were further processed by stearic acid modification (SAM). Micropatterned surfaces with SAM had hydrophobic properties with water droplet contact angles greater than 130°, while the micropatterned surfaces without SAM remained hydrophilic. The corrosion properties of textured and smooth magnesium surfaces in saline solution were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and optical microscopy. Corrosion rates on both hydrophobic and hydrophilic laser machined surfaces were reduced ∼90% relative to polished surfaces. Surprisingly, corrosion rates were similar for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Indirect evidence of local alkalization near microstructures was found and was hypothesized to stabilize the Mg(OH)2 layer, thereby inhibiting corrosion on hydrophilic surfaces. This is different than the corrosion resistance mechanism for superhydrophobic surfaces which makes use of gas adhesion at the liquid solid interface. These results suggest additional processing to render the magnesium hydrophobic is not necessary since it does not significantly enhance the corrosion resistance beyond what is conferred by micropatterned textures.

Abstract
Surfaces that provide control over liquid, solid, or vapor accretion provide an evolutionary advantage to numerous plants, insects, and animals. Synthetic surfaces inspired by these natural surfaces can have a substantial impact on diverse commercial applications. Engineered liquid and solid repellent surfaces are often designed to impart control over a single state of matter, phase, or fouling length scale. However, surfaces used in diverse real-world applications need to effectively control the accrual of matter across multiple phases and fouling length scales. We discuss the surface design strategies aimed at controlling the accretion of different states of matter, particularly those that work across multiple length scales and different foulants. We also highlight notable applications, as well as challenges associated with these designer surfaces' scale-up and commercialization.

Abstract
Corrosion and contamination of metallic structures can cause loss of their functionality as well as aesthetic values. In this study, we describe a general strategy to prepare superhydrophobic self-cleaning and anti-corrosion surfaces for metallic structures. As a specific example, a superhydrophobic coating (SHC) on aluminum alloy was prepared by a simple etching combined with the decoration of a low-surface-energy material. The optimal SHC has a water contact angle (CA) at ~157.4° and a sliding angle (SA) of ~8.3° due to the synergy of binary hierarchical structures and chemical modification. The SHC showed low adhesion to dry contaminants and a series of liquids, displaying a good self-cleaning effect. The SHC maintained superhydrophobicity after exposure to air and humid condition at 60 °C for 7 days. In addition, the electrochemical measurements reveal that the anti-corrosion performance was enhanced by reducing the corrosion current density (Jcorr) by 1 order of magnitude and increasing the corrosion potential (Ecorr) by 0.527 V as compared to the bare Al alloy substrate after immersion for 168 h.

Abstract
Cell-based high-throughput screening is a key step in the current disease-based research, drug development, and precision medicine. However, it is challenging to establish a rapid culture and screening platform for rare cells (patient-derived) due to the obvious differences between the traditional 2D cell model and the tumor microenvironment, as well as the lack of a low-consumption screening platform for low numbers of cells. Here, we developed an acoustic drop-assisted superhydrophilic-superhydrophobic microarray platform for the rapid culture and screening of a few cells. By employing hydrophilic and hydrophobic microarrays, we can automatically distribute the cell suspension into uniform droplets, and these cells can spontaneously form compact 3D cell spheroids within 36 h (similar to the microenvironment of tumors in vivo). By using the acoustic droplet ejection device, we can accurately inject a drug solution with a volume of ∼pL to ∼nL into the droplet, and the whole process can be completed within 20 ms (one print). By using three different cell lines (Caco-2, MCF-7, and HeLa) to optimize the platform, the culture and screening of five patients' colon cancer were subsequently realized. Using three conventional chemotherapeutics (5-fluorouracil, cetuximab, and panitumumab) of various concentrations, the best treatment was screened out and compared with the actual treatment effect of the patients, and the results were extremely similar. As a proof-of-concept application, we have proved that our platform can quickly cultivate patient samples and effectively screen the best treatment methods, highlighting its wide application in precision medicine, basic tumor research, and drug development.

Abstract
Porous anodic alumina oxide (AAO) obtained via two-step anodization is a material commonly used as a template for fabricating 1D nanostructures. In this work, copper and cobalt-iron 1D nanocones were obtained by an electrodeposition method using AAO templates. The templates were produced using two-step anodization in H2C2O4. The Co–Fe nanostructures are characterized by homogeneous pore distribution. The electrocatalytic activity of the produced nanomaterials was determined in 1 M NaOH using the linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and chronopotentiometry (CP) methods. These materials can be used as catalysts in the water-splitting reaction. The sample’s active surface area was calculated and compared with bulk materials.

Abstract
A superhydrophobic multilayer coating with excellent corrosion resistance has been fabricated on an AZ61 magnesium alloy through electroless plating and hydrothermal treatment. The surface morphologies, chemical characteristics, wettabilities, and corrosion resistance of the multilayer coating were characterized and discussed. The results show that the electroless Ni-P coating on the magnesium alloy exhibits a nodular structure with micropores and lower corrosion resistance. However, a dense Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 layer, a porous Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 nanostructure layer, and a stearic absorbing layer are grown on the surface of the Ni-P coating with superhydrophobic characters and higher corrosion resistance after hydrothermal treatment. Furthermore, the water contact angle and corrosion resistance of the multilayer coating showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing as the hydrothermal reaction time increases. The optimum hydrothermal reaction time is 15 h, and the multilayer coating prepared under this condition has the highest corrosion resistance and the highest contact angle. In addition, the protection mechanism of the multilayer coating is discussed, and the formation of the dense Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 layer and the stearic absorbing layer effectively improved the corrosion resistance of the multilayer coating.

Abstract
Stearic acid and fluoroalkylsilane are widely used in chemical modification to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces in corrosion-resistant exploration. However, extensive works have just explored their anticorrosive performance in salt solution. Very rare work has focused on comparing their corrosion-resistant performance in corrosive solution (salt, alkali, and acid) systematically. In this study, two kinds of superhydrophobic surfaces were obtained on laser-processed rough IN304 surface after the stearic acid and FAS modification processes, respectively. The investigation and comparison of anticorrosion performance in salt, alkali, and acid electrolyte were carried out via potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The promotion mechanism or impairing mechanism was further proposed based on the results of surface wettability, surface morphology, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Besides, the long-term anticorrosion performance and the stability of surface wettability were also investigated. It is hoped that these research findings could provide an explicit guidance of suitable anticorrosion methods selection for metals in different kinds of corrosive solution (salt, alkali, and acid), which will further raise the promising prospect of functional surfaces for practical applications in industry.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to study the effects of gravity, solid surface energy, and the fraction of water-solid interface area on the water droplet sliding angles on nanopillared surfaces. To effectively simulate the influence of gravity on drop sliding, we developed a protocol in which we scale the value of gravitational acceleration used in our simulations according to the Bond number (Bo). In this way, we approximate the behavior of drops larger than we can effectively simulate using MD. The sliding angle decreased with an increase in Bo, while it increased with an increase in the liquid-solid surface interaction. The sliding angles exhibit a minimum with an increase in the fraction of water-solid interface area, due to meniscus formation at high fractions. Trends predicted by our model are in agreement with experiment. Using our model, we investigated the mechanisms of droplet movement along nanopillared surfaces. Depending on the pinning state of the droplets at equilibrium, either the advancing or the receding contact angle initiates motion. Moreover, the minimum dynamic advancing and receding contact angles of drops with gravity are close to the static contact angle and the intrinsic contact angle, respectively, while the maxima of both angles are as large as 180°. We find that the drops move through a combination of sliding and rolling, in agreement with experiment. Our studies offer clarity to conflicting experimental reports and present new results awaiting experimental confirmation.

Abstract
How to prepare multifunctional surfaces with high nucleation density and fast droplet removal during droplet condensation remains a challenge. It is believed that a water droplet on a superhydrophobic surface (SHS) in the Cassie state is inclined to convert to the Wenzel state under high-pressure or high-humidity conditions, which results in the pinning effect. Hence, it is necessary to form thermodynamically stable lubricant-infused surfaces (LISs) to be applied in water condensation, especially under extreme working conditions. In this work, CuO LISs with two different morphologies (chrysanthemum-like and dandelion-like structures) in the slippery state were prepared and the effect of surface morphology on water harvesting behavior was investigated. The results indicated that dandelion-like CuO consisting of nanoneedles exhibited inferior water harvesting behavior compared to chrysanthemum-like CuO consisting of nanolamellas due to worse lubricating oil loss. Furthermore, the strong intermolecular forces between the perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricating oil and perfluorodecanethiol (PFDT)-modified coating resulted in a durable lubricating layer, which exhibited favorable anti-icing, anticorrosion, and liquid repellency even under strong acid and alkali conditions, high shear force rate up to 7000 rpm, and long-time ultraviolet light irradiation for 12 h. This work paves the path for efficient droplet nucleation and removal, which has potential in water harvesting in arid regions and water condensation for power generation.

Abstract
A superhydrophobic surface with robust structures on a metallic surface could improve its application in various harsh conditions. Herein, we developed a new strategy to fabricate robust micro-/nanoscale hierarchical structures with electrical discharge machining and electrochemical etching on a titanium substrate. After modification by fluorinated silane, the static water contact angle and slide angle of the surface could reach 162 ± 2° and 4 ± 1°, respectively. The superhydrophobic surfaces showed good corrosion resistance and mechanical stability after scratching with sandpapers. In addition, the superhydrophobic surfaces had good self-cleaning performance even in an acidic environment as well as the potential to be used as guiding tracks in droplet microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems. These results are expected to be helpful in designing the surface of liquid float gyroscope parts.

[PMID: 32494077 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2331-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 469] [Impact Index Per Article: 117.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2019] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
The ability of superhydrophobic surfaces to stay dry, self-clean and avoid biofouling is attractive for applications in biotechnology, medicine and heat transfer1-10. Water droplets that contact these surfaces must have large apparent contact angles (greater than 150 degrees) and small roll-off angles (less than 10 degrees). This can be realized for surfaces that have low-surface-energy chemistry and micro- or nanoscale surface roughness, minimizing contact between the liquid and the solid surface11-17. However, rough surfaces-for which only a small fraction of the overall area is in contact with the liquid-experience high local pressures under mechanical load, making them fragile and highly susceptible to abrasion18. Additionally, abrasion exposes underlying materials and may change the local nature of the surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic19, resulting in the pinning of water droplets to the surface. It has therefore been assumed that mechanical robustness and water repellency are mutually exclusive surface properties. Here we show that robust superhydrophobicity can be realized by structuring surfaces at two different length scales, with a nanostructure design to provide water repellency and a microstructure design to provide durability. The microstructure is an interconnected surface frame containing 'pockets' that house highly water-repellent and mechanically fragile nanostructures. This surface frame acts as 'armour', preventing the removal of the nanostructures by abradants that are larger than the frame size. We apply this strategy to various substrates-including silicon, ceramic, metal and transparent glass-and show that the water repellency of the resulting superhydrophobic surfaces is preserved even after abrasion by sandpaper and by a sharp steel blade. We suggest that this transparent, mechanically robust, self-cleaning glass could help to negate the dust-contamination issue that leads to a loss of efficiency in solar cells. Our design strategy could also guide the development of other materials that need to retain effective self-cleaning, anti-fouling or heat-transfer abilities in harsh operating environments.

Abstract
Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) have recently been intensively investigated because of promising potential in various applications that require water repellency. However, the use of SLIPS is limited by its unsatisfactory oil-storage and -replacement capabilities. Here we designed network surface structures with interconnected microchannels and cross-linked nanosheets, which acted as natural oil reservoirs and vessels. A lubricant can be firmly locked and stored into the networks, leading to an efficient water repellency as well as improved mechanical durability and stability. We further show the surface structures can be applied to anti-icing/deicing, demonstrated by its improved icing-delaying, anti-icing, and deicing properties even after multiple cycles, compared to those on superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) and the conventional SLIPSs. We envision that this unique design of the slippery liquid-infused porous network surface (SLIPNS) with robust stability and durability may expand its application in extreme environments.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic methylated silica with a core–shell structure was successfully fabricated by a sol-gel process. First, a pristine silica gel with an average particle size of ca. 110 nm was prepared, using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor, ethanol as a solvent, and NH4OH as a catalyst. Then, the superhydrophobic methylated silica sol was prepared by introducing methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), to graft the surface of the pristine silica gel with methyl groups. The structure and morphology of the methylated silica sol were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The characterization results showed that methyl groups were successfully grafted onto the surface of the pristine silica, and the diameter of the methylated silica was increased by 5–10 nm. Various superhydrophobic surfaces on glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric, cotton, open-cell polyurethane (PU) foam, and polypropylene (PP) filter cloth were successfully constructed by coating the above substrates with the methylated silica sol and reached with a maximum static water contact angle and slide angle of 161° and 3°, respectively. In particular, the superhydrophobic PP filter cloth exhibited promising application in oil–water separation. The separation efficiency of different oil–water mixtures was higher than 96% and could be repeated at least 15 times.

Abstract
Mg alloys have attracted extensive attention in the biomedical fields owing to their great biocompatibility, suitable mechanical properties, and biodegradability, etc. However, the fast degradation rate restricts the application of Mg alloys. Thus, the surface treatment of Mg alloys is considered as one of the most effective ways to enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. Nevertheless, simple processing to improve the corrosion resistance can no longer meet the growing biofunctional clinical requirements. Therefore, functionalized processing has become one of the key development directions for surface treatment in the future, such as functionalized Mg alloys with antibacterial property and hydrophobicity. There are few papers that review the functionalized processing of surface treatment. This review summarized and compared the major advances of the surface treatment (anticorrosion processing and functionalized processing) of Mg alloys. Then, some potential research suggestions are proposed, which may provide a reference for the development of Mg alloys.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is widely used in all forms of industry, including automobile, aerospace, transmission lines, and exchangers, and in general household appliances. Ice accumulation on Al surfaces may cause serious problems, especially during the winter, leading to critical damage to mechanical systems. In this study, we developed a superhydrophobic coating with anti-icing properties on an Al surface using a simple and cost-effective technique. The superhydrophobic dual-shape micro-/nanostructured (MN-) Al surface was fabricated by a facile chemical etching and an anodization method, followed by surface modification with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) via a simple thermal vapor deposition method. The static contact angle of the fabricated surface was more than 160 °C. Compared with the bare surface and the silicone oil-infused PDMS coating (SLIPS) on the MN-structured Al substrate, the fabricated superhydrophobic surface displayed excellent anti-icing. Ice formation on the superhydrophobic surface was delayed by 80 and 45 min at -5 °C and -10 °C, respectively, at a relative humidity of 80% ± 5%. The superhydrophobic surface demonstrated an increase of almost four and two times delay in icing time on the surface over bare and SLIPS surfaces, respectively. The coalescence induced jumping behavior of condensate water droplets was also investigated on the fabricated surfaces. The result indicates that the superhydrophobic surface can effectively delay ice/frost formation by the synergetic effect of surface morphology and the extremely low adhesive property of the surfaces, which allows the self-propelled jumping phenomenon at low temperature and high humidity. This proposed simple, fast, and cost-effective method could be applied to design large-scale anti-icing surfaces.

Abstract
This study focuses on nano cerium oxide particles as alternative additives in solvent-based alkyd coatings in order to improve anticorrosive and anti-aging properties. The paint samples were formulated with cerium oxide micro and nanoparticles, and the coating quality characteristics were compared with coating formulated with commercial anticorrosive and UV-aging agents. Formulations were prepared with 3 wt % commercial anticorrosive agent as reference material (RP), 3 wt % cerium oxide microparticles (CER1), 3 wt % and 1% cerium oxide nanoparticles (CER2 and CER3), respectively. The basket milling technique with zirconium balls was used for the preparations of coatings and characterizations were performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and contact angle measurements. Improvement in the anticorrosive properties was proven with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and accelerated salt spray tests based on ISO 4628 Evaluation of Degradation of Coatings. Furthermore, physical and mechanical tests were run according to standard test methods for coatings and reported. Results showed that cerium oxide particles provide anticorrosive, UV defender, and self-cleaning effects, besides excellent physical resistance to alkyd coatings. The impact of cerium oxide nanoparticles was found to be stronger than those of the microparticles.

Abstract
Corrosion—reactions occuring between engineering materials and their environment—can cause material failure and catastrophic accidents, which have a serious impact on economic development and social stability. Recently, super-hydrophobic coatings have received much attention due to their effectiveness in preventing engineering materials from further corrosion. In this paper, basic principles of wetting properties and corrosion protection mechanism of super-hydrophobic coatings are introduced firstly. Secondly, the fabrication methods by electrochemical surface engineering—including electrochemical anodization, micro-arc oxidation, electrochemical etching, and deposition—are presented. Finally, the stabilities and future directions of super-hydrophobic coatings are discussed in order to promote the movement of such coatings into real-world applications. The objective of this review is to bring a brief overview of the recent progress in the fabrication of super-hydrophobic coatings by electrochemical surface methods for corrosion protection of engineering materials.

Abstract
Recyclable materials can be referred to as both those materials directly recycled from wastes and those derived from any kind of transformation before use. Highly water repellent coatings with wettability properties, known as superhydrophobic (SH), are related to surfaces with contact angles above 150° and a very small hysteresis. The small area available for these surfaces when in contact with water can be exploited in many applications in which interactions with an aqueous environment are usually desirable to be avoided, like for protection and friction reduction in a marine environment. SH coatings under investigation have been prepared starting from recyclable materials with the aim to provide a sustainable and low cost solution, with potential application to large surfaces in a marine environment. Wetting studies, surface characterization, and electrochemical tests show how these surfaces can be used in terms of fouling prevention and the protection of metals in underwater conditions.

Abstract
Anti-icing/icephobic coatings, typically applied in the form of surface functional materials, are considered to be an ideal selection to solve the icing issues faced by daily life and industrial production. However, the applications of anti-icing coatings are greatly limited by the two main challenges: bonding strength with substrates and stability of the high anti-icing performance. Here, we designed and fabricated a kind of high-performance superhydrophobic fluorinated silica (F-SiO2)@polydimethylsiloxane coatings and further emphasized the improvement of the bonding strength with substrates and the maintenance of high anti-icing performance. The resultant coatings exhibited excellent water repellency with a contact angle up to 155.3° and a very short contact time (∼10.2 ms) of impact droplets. At low temperatures, the coming droplets still rapidly rebounded off the coating surface, and the superhydrophobic coatings displayed a more than 50-fold increase of freezing time comparing with bare aluminum. The ice adhesion strength on the coatings was only 26.3 kPa, which was far less than that (821.9 kPa) of bare aluminum. Furthermore, the nanoporous structures constructed by anodic oxidation could tremendously enhance the bonding strength of the coatings with the substrate, which was evaluated through a standard method (ASTM D3359). The anti-icing properties still retained high stability under the conditions of 30 icing/deicing cycles, soaking, and scouring of acid solution (pH = 5.6). This work can effectively push the anti-icing coatings toward a real-world application.

Abstract
A nanosecond green laser was employed to obtain both superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces on a white commercial acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). These wetting behaviors were directly related to a laser-induced superficial modification. A predefined pattern was not produced by the laser, rather, the entire surface was covered with laser pulses at 1200 DPI by placing the sample at different positions along the focal axis. The changes were related to the laser fluence used in each case. The highest fluence, on the focal position, induced a drastic heating of the material surface, and this enabled the melted material to flow, thus leading to an almost flat superhydrophilic surface. By contrast, the use of a lower fluence by placing the sample 0.8 µm out of the focal position led to a poor material flow and a fast cooling that froze in a rugged superhydrophobic surface. Contact angles higher than 150° and roll angles of less than 10° were obtained. These wetting behaviors were stable over time.

Abstract
Versatile biomimetic materials possess exceptional functions to address practical challenges in a wide variety of industries. Lubricant-infused slippery (LIS) surfaces that imitate the microstructure of carnivorous nepenthes can repel water and various organic solutions. These materials are manufactured via the infusion of lubricant oil into porous surfaces, a process which yields interfaces that allow other fluids that contact those surfaces to slide off readily. Herein, a facile spin-coating strategy was introduced to construct LIS surfaces. Three kinds of silanes (Tetraethylorthosilicat (TEOS), vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoroalkyltriethoxysilanes (POTS)) and a UV-curing adhesive were adopted to fabricate an omniphobic coating. After the lubricant (perfluoroalkylpolyether (PFPE)) infusion, the prepared LIS surfaces exhibited an excellent liquid repellent property and positive anti-reflectivity, self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-corrosion and mechanical resistance properties. The results of this research indicated that this LIS surface can facilitate the manufacture of transparent and multi-functional slippery materials by means of straightforward procedures.

A universal method to create surface patterns with extreme wettability on metal substrates. J Colloid Interface Sci 2018; 535:100-110. [PMID: 30286307 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2018.09.078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2018] [Accepted: 09/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Extreme wettability surfaces have attracted more and more attention due to their practical applications, however, few reports have shown a universal method to create surface patterns with extreme wettability on a variety of metals. In this paper, a mask-assisted dual-chemical-processing approach without special modification is used to prepare the extreme wettability patterns on various metal substrates. Fabrication of superhydrophilic-superhydrophobic patterns on five kinds of metal substrates of Al, Ti, steel, Zn and Mg alloy proved the versatility of this method. The extreme wettability patterns prepared by this method were applied to fog harvest and we found the big differences in the collection efficiency of various metal surface patterns.
