Abstract
Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) have great potential to replace traditional antifouling coatings due to their efficient, green, and broad-spectrum antifouling performance. However, the lubricant dissipation problem of SLIPS severely restricts its further development and application, and the robust SLIPS continues to be extremely challenging. Here, a composite phase-change lubricant layer consisting of paraffin, silicone oil, and MXene is designed to readily construct a stable and NIR-responsive self-healing phase-change solid slippery surface (PCSSS). Collective results showed that PCSSS could rapidly achieve phase-change transformation and complete self-healing under NIR irradiation and keep stable after high-speed water flushing, centrifugation, and ultrasonic treatment. The antifouling performance of PCSSS evaluated by protein, bacteria, and algae antiadhesion tests demonstrated the adhesion inhibition rate was as high as 99.99%. Moreover, the EIS and potentiodynamic polarization experiments indicated that PCSSS had stable and exceptional corrosion resistance (|Z|0.01Hz = 3.87 × 108 Ω·cm2) and could effectively inhibit microbiologically influenced corrosion. The 90 day actual marine test reveals that PCSSS has remarkable antifouling performance. Therefore, PCSSS presents a novel, facile, and effective strategy to construct a slippery surface with the prospect of facilitating its application in marine antifouling and corrosion protection.

Abstract
The formation process of biofouling is actually a 4D process with both spatial and temporal dimensions. However, most traditional antifouling coatings, including slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS), are limited to performing antifouling process in the 2D coating plane. Herein, inspired by the defensive behavior of sea anemones' wielding toxic tentacles, a "4D SLIPS" (FSLIPS) is constructed with biomimetic cilia via a magnetic field self-assembly method for antifouling. The bionic cilia move in 3D space driven by an external magnetic field, thereby preventing the attachment of microorganisms. The FSLIPS releases the gaseous antifoulant (nitric oxide) at 1D time in response to light, thereby achieving a controllable biocide effect on microorganisms. The FSLIPS regulates the movement of cilia via the external magnetic field, and controls the release of NO overtime via the light response, so as to adjust the antifouling modes on demand during the day or night. The light/magnetic response mechanism endow the FSLIPS with the ability to adjust the antifouling effect in the 4D dimension of 1D time and 3D space, effectively realizing the intelligence, multi-dimensionality and precision of the antifouling process.

Abstract
Biomimetic synthesis provides potential guidance for the synthesis of bio-nanomaterials by mimicking the structure, properties and functions of natural materials. Behavioral studies of biological surfaces with specific micro/nano structures are performed to explore the interactions of various molecules or organisms with biological surfaces. These explorations provide valuable inspiration for the development of biomimetic surfaces with similar effects. This work reviews some conventional preparation methods and functional modulation strategies for biomimetic interfaces. It aims to elucidate the important role of biomimetic interfaces with antifouling and low-pollution properties that can replace non-environmentally friendly coatings. Thus, biomimetic antifouling interfaces can be better applied in the field of marine antifouling and antimicrobial. In this review, the commonly used fabrication methods for biomimetic interfaces as well as some practical strategies for functional modulation is present in detail. These methods and strategies modify the physical structure and chemical properties of the biomimetic interfaces, thus improving the wettability, adsorption, drag reduction, etc. that they exhibit. In addition, practical applications are presented of various biomimetic interfaces for antifouling and look ahead to potential biomedical applications. By continuously discovering functional surfaces with biomimetic properties and studying their microstructure and macroscopic properties, more biomimetic interfaces will be developed.

Abstract
Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is widely used in marine antifouling coatings due to its low surface energy property. However, certain drawbacks of PDMS coatings such as poor surface adhesion, weak mechanical properties, and inadequate static antifouling performance have hindered its practical applications. Herein, condensation polymerization is utilized to prepare PDMS-based polythiamine ester (PTUBAF) coatings that consist of PDMS, polytetrahydrofuran (PTMG), 2, 3, 5, 6-tetrafluoro-1, 4-benzenedimethanol (TBD) as the main chains and isobornyl acrylate(IBA) as the antifouling group. The surface adhesion to the substrate is enhanced due to the hydrogen bond between the coated carbamate group and the hydroxyl group on the surface of the substrate. Mechanical properties of PTUBAF are significantly improved due to the benzene ring and six-membered ring biphase hard structure. The strong synergistic effect of bactericidal groups and low surface energy surface endows the PTUBAF coating with outstanding antifouling performance. Due to the low surface energy surface, the PTUBAF coatings are also found to possess excellent anti-corrosion. Furthermore, since the PTUBAF coatings exhibit a visible light transmittance of 91 %, they can applied as protective films for smartphones. The proposed method has the potential to boost the production and practical applications of silicone-based coatings.

Abstract
Friction, wear, and the consequent energy dissipation pose significant challenges in systems with moving components, spanning various domains, including nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) and bio-MEMS (microrobots), hip prostheses (biomaterials), offshore wind and hydro turbines, space vehicles, solar mirrors for photovoltaics, triboelectric generators, etc. Nature-inspired bionic surfaces offer valuable examples of effective texturing strategies, encompassing various geometric and topological approaches tailored to mitigate frictional effects and related functionalities in various scenarios. By employing biomimetic surface modifications, for example, roughness tailoring, multifunctionality of the system can be generated to efficiently reduce friction and wear, enhance load-bearing capacity, improve self-adaptiveness in different environments, improve chemical interactions, facilitate biological interactions, etc. However, the full potential of bioinspired texturing remains untapped due to the limited mechanistic understanding of functional aspects in tribological/biotribological settings. The current review extends to surface engineering and provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of bioinspired texturing that exhibits sustainable synergy between tribology and biology. The successful evolving examples from nature for surface/tribological solutions that can efficiently solve complex tribological problems in both dry and lubricated contact situations are comprehensively discussed. The review encompasses four major wear conditions: sliding, solid-particle erosion, machining or cutting, and impact (energy absorbing). Furthermore, it explores how topographies and their design parameters can provide tailored responses (multifunctionality) under specified tribological conditions. Additionally, an interdisciplinary perspective on the future potential of bioinspired materials and structures with enhanced wear resistance is presented.

Abstract
Asymmetric superhydrophobic structures with anisotropic wettability can achieve directional bouncing of droplets and thus can have applications in directional self-cleaning, liquid transportation, and heat transfer. To achieve convenient large-scale preparation of asymmetric superhydrophobic surfaces, inclined nanoforests are prepared in this work using a technique of competitive ablation polymerization, which allows the control of the inclined angles, diameters, and heights of the nanostructures. In this study, such asymmetric structures with the smallest dimension (230 nm diameter) known are achieved by a simple etching method to guide droplet unidirectional bouncing. With such nanoforests, the mechanism of droplet bouncing on their surface is investigated, and controllable droplet bouncing over a long distance is achieved using droplets with a low Weber number. The proposed structure has a promising future in directional self-cleaning, liquid transportation and heat transfer.

Abstract
Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have received widespread attention in the antifouling field. However, the reduction in antifouling performance caused by lubricant loss limits their application in marine antifouling. Herein, inspired by the skin of a poison dart frog which contains venom glands and mucus, a porous liquid (PL) based on ZIF-8 is prepared as a lubricant and injected into a silicone polyurethane (SPU) matrix to construct a new type of SLIPS for marine antifouling applications: the slippery porous-liquid-infused porous surface (SPIPS). The SPIPS consists of a responsive antifoulant-releasing switch between "defensive" and "offensive" antifouling modes to intelligently enhance the antifouling effect after lubricant loss. The SPIPS can adjust antifouling performance to meet the antifouling requirements under different light conditions. The wastage of antifoulants is reduced, thereby effectively maintaining the durability and service life of SLIPS materials. The SPIPS exhibits efficient lubricant self-replenishment, self-cleaning, anti-protein, anti-bacterial, anti-algal, and self-healing (97.48%) properties. Furthermore, it shows satisfactory 360-day antifouling performance in actual marine fields during boom seasons, demonstrating the longest antifouling lifespan in the field tests of reported SLIPS coatings. Hence, the SPIPS can effectively promote the development of SLIPS for neritic antifouling.

Abstract
The paper was devoted to the results of the study of methods to obtain superhydrophobic film based on the plasma polymerisation of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) inside the plasma jet at atmospheric pressure. The 3D printing technology was intended for film deposition, which has the advantage of producing superhydrophobic surfaces over a wide range of scales. The effect of synthesis parameters on the hydrophobic properties of the film has been studied. The obtained superhydrophobic films demonstrated stability and resistance in chemical solutions, at high temperatures, under the influence of UV-irradiation and in various weather conditions. The results can be used in various fields, including automotive, construction, electronics, medicine and others, where surface protection against moisture, contamination and corrosion is required.

Abstract
Dynamic wetting behaviors of sessile droplets on substrates play crucial roles for various industrial chemical processes. In the case of complete wetting, it has been proposed that a precursor film which is nanometer-order thickness and micrometer-order length further expands outside the macroscopic contact line of the sessile droplet. While the time evolution of the precursor film is believed to strikingly affect the macroscopic wetting behavior (e.g., spreading velocity), it had been hard to visualize the three-dimensional shape of the precursor film at the early stage of wetting. Further, although the spreading velocity rapidly decreases upon time at the early stage of the wetting (transient state) and then converged to be a constant at later time (steady state), conventional fluid mechanics theories generally describe only the wetting behavior at the steady state. Therefore, experimental observation of time evolution of the precursor film shape in the transient state is essential to proceed the theories to the next step. Here, a monochromatic laser interference microscope was developed to visualize three-dimensional shape of the wetting front of sessile droplets in real time. By detecting an interference of the laser reflected at the liquid and substrate surfaces, the precursor film was successfully visualized with a time resolution of 20 ms and a thickness resolution of about 3.5 nm at worst. For 10 cSt silicone oil on Si substrate, a 60-nm-thick and 70-μm-long precursor film was observed for 2-10 min after dropping and its spreading velocity which decreased with time was quantitatively analyzed.

[PMID: 38100906 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Protein and cell adhesion on temporary intravascular devices can lead to thrombosis and tissue embedment, significantly increasing complications and device retrieval difficulties. Here, we propose an endothelial glycocalyx-inspired dynamic antifouling surface strategy for indwelling catheters and retrievable vascular filters to prevent thrombosis and suppress intimal embedment. This strategy is realized on the surfaces of substrates by the intensely dense grafting of hydrolyzable endothelial polysaccharide hyaluronic acid (HA), assisted by an amine-rich phenol-polyamine universal platform. The resultant super-hydrophilic surface exhibits potent antifouling property against proteins and cells. Additionally, the HA hydrolysis induces continuous degradation of the coating, enabling removal of inevitable biofouling on the surface. Moreover, the dense grafting of HA also ensures the medium-term effectiveness of this dynamic antifouling surface. The coated catheters maintain a superior anti-thrombosis capacity in ex vivo blood circulation after 30 days immersion. In the abdominal veins of rats, the coated implants show inhibitory effects on intimal embedment up to 2 months. Overall, we envision that this glycocalyx-inspired dynamic antifouling surface strategy could be a promising surface engineering technology for temporary intravascular devices.

Abstract
The fouling of submerged surfaces detrimentally alters stratum properties. Inorganic and organic foulers alike attach to and accumulate on surfaces when the complex interaction between numerous variables governing attachment and colonization is favourable. Unlike naturally evolved solutions, industrial methods of repellence carry adverse environmental impacts. Mammal fur demonstrates high resistance to fouling; however, our understanding of the intricacies of such performance remains limited. Here, we show that the passive trait of fur to dynamically respond to an external flow field dramatically improves its anti-fouling performance over that of fibres rigidly fixed at both ends. We have previously discovered a statistically significant correlation between a group of flow- and stratum-related properties, and the quantified anti-fouling performance of immobile filaments. In this work, we improve the correlation by considering an additional physical factor, the ability of hair to flex. Our work establishes a parametric framework for the design of passive anti-fouling filamentous structures and invites other disciplines to contribute to the investigation of the anti-fouling prowess of mammalian interfaces.

Abstract
While SARS-CoV-2 is generally under control, the question of variants and infections still persists. Fundamental information on how the virus interacts with inanimate surfaces commonly found in our daily life and when in contact with the skin will be helpful in developing strategies to inhibit the spread of the virus. Here in, a critically important review of current understanding of the interaction between virus and surface is summarized from chemistry point-of-view. The Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek and extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theories to model virus attachments on surfaces are introduced, along with the interaction type and strength, and quantification of each component. The virus survival and transfer are affected by a combination of biological, physical, and chemical parameters, as well as environmental parameters. The surface properties for virus and virus survival on typical surfaces such as metals, plastics, and glass are summarized. Attention is also paid to the transfer of virus to/from surfaces and skin. Typical virus disinfection strategies utilizing heat, light, chemicals, and ozone are discussed together with their disinfection mechanism. In the last section, design principles for virus repelling surface chemistry such as surperhydrophobic or surperhydrophilic surfaces are also introduced, to demonstrate how the integration of surface property control and advanced material fabrication can lead to the development of functional surfaces for mitigating the effect of viral infection upon contact.

Abstract
The present study investigates different design strategies to produce non-wettable micropatterned surfaces. In addition to the classical method of measuring the contact angle, the non-wettability is also discussed by means of the immersion test. Inspired by non-wettable structures found in nature, the effects of features such as reentrant cavities, micropillars, and overhanging layers are studied. We show that a densely populated array of small diameter cavities exhibits superior non-wettability, with 65% of the cavities remaining intact after 24 h of full immersion in water. In addition, it is suggested that the wetting transition time is influenced by the length of the overhanging layer as well as by the number of columns within the cavity. Our findings indicate a non-wetting performance that is three times longer than previously reported in the literature for a small, densely populated design with cavities as small as 10 μm in diameter. Such properties are particularly beneficial for neural implants as they may reduce the interface between the body fluid and the solid state, thereby minimiing the inflammatory response following implantation injury. In order to assess the effectiveness of this approach in reducing the immune response induced by neural implants, further in vitro and in vivo studies will be essential.

Abstract
There is a lack of cost-effective, environmentally-friendly tools available to manage marine biofouling accumulation on static artificial structures such as drilling rigs, wind turbines, marine farms, and port and marina infrastructure. For there to be uptake and refinement of tools, emerging technologies need to be tested and proven at an operational scale. This study aimed to see whether biofouling accumulation could be suppressed on marine infrastructure under real-world conditions through the delivery of continuous bubble streams. Submerged surfaces of a floating marina pontoon were cleaned in-situ by divers, and the subsequent colonisation by biofouling organisms was monitored on treated (bubbles applied) and untreated sections. Continuous bubble streams proved highly effective (>95%) in controlling macrofouling accumulation on the underside surface of the marina pontoon for the first 2 months after deployment, but efficacy dropped off rapidly once bubble stream delivery was partially obscured due to biofouling accumulation on the diffuser itself. Although extensive macrofouling cover by mussels, bryozoans and hydroids was observed on treated surfaces by 4 months (27.5%, SE = 4.8%), biofouling % cover and diversity was significantly higher on untreated surfaces (79.6%, SE = 2.9%). While this study demonstrates that continuous bubble streams greatly restrict biofouling accumulation over short-to-medium timescales, improved system design, especially the incorporation of diffusers resistant to fouling, is needed for the approach to be considered a viable long-term option for biofouling management on static artificial structures.

Abstract
Antiadhesive surfaces have been gaining continuous attention, because of the scientific and industrial significance. Slippery surfaces and antismudge coatings with antiadhesive behavior have been readily designed and prepared. However, improving robustness of the surfaces, especially the simultaneous demonstration of features of high hardness, excellent adhesion to different substrates, and high thermal stability, is constantly challenging. Herein, we present a silica/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposite coating (SPNC), wherein silica acts as a consecutive phase and nanophased PDMS is covalently embedded. The nanoconfined PDMS phase exhibits enhanced thermal stability and endows SPNC with slippery behavior; meanwhile, enrichment of PDMS on the surface renders a gradient composition of the coating. Accordingly, the inorganic-organic SPNC simultaneously displays a high nanoindentation hardness of 3.07 GPa and a pencil hardness over 9H, outstanding thermal stability of the slippery performance up to 400 °C, and excellent adhesion strength to different substrates. Additionally, SPNC exhibits high optical transparency, flexibility, resistance to bacterial clone, and chemical corrosion. With the scalable fabrication process, it can be envisioned that the antiadhesive coating with unprecedented comprehensive merits in this work has significant potentials for large-area applications, especially under severe service environments.

Abstract
Insects demonstrate a wide diversity of microscopic cuticular and extra-cuticular features. These features often produce multifunctional surfaces which are greatly desired in engineering and material science fields. Among these functionalities, hydrophobicity is of particular interest and has gained recent attention as it often results in other properties such as self-cleaning, anti-biofouling, and anti-corrosion. We reviewed the historical and contemporary scientific literature to create an extensive review of known hydrophobic and superhydrophobic structures in insects. We found that numerous insects across at least fourteen taxonomic orders possess a wide variety of cuticular surface chemicals and physical structures that promote hydrophobicity. We discuss a few bioinspired design examples of how insects have already inspired new technologies. Moving forward, the use of a bioinspiration framework will help us gain insight into how and why these systems work in nature. Undoubtedly, our fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical principles that result in functional insect surfaces will continue to facilitate the design and production of novel materials.

Abstract
The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial strains has led to novel approaches for combating bacterial infections and surface contamination. More specifically, efforts in combining nanotechnology and biomimetics have led to the development of next-generation antimicrobial/antifouling nanomaterials. While nature-inspired nanoscale topographies are known for minimizing bacterial attachment through surface energy and physicochemical features, few studies have investigated the combined inhibitory effects of such features in combination with chemical alterations of these surfaces. Studies describing surface alterations, such as quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), have also gained attention due to their broad spectrum of inhibitory activity against bacterial cells. Similarly, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have exhibited their capacity to reduce bacterial viability. To maximize the functionality of modified surfaces, the integration of patterned surfaces and functionalized exteriors, achieved through physical and chemical surface alterations, have recently been explored as viable alternatives. Nonetheless, these modifications are prone to challenges that can reduce their efficacy considerably in the long term. Their effectiveness against a wider array of microbial cells is still a subject of investigation. This review article will explore and discuss the emerging trends in biomimetics and other antimicrobials while raising possible concerns about their limitations and discussing future implications regarding their potential combined applications.

Abstract
The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has heightened awareness of the importance of quick and easy testing. The convenience, speed, and timely results from point-of-care testing (POCT) in all vitro diagnostic devices has drawn the strong interest of researchers. However, there are still many challenges in the development of POCT devices, such as the pretreatment of samples, detection sensitivity, specificity, and so on. It is anticipated that the unique properties of nanomaterials, e.g., their magnetic, optical, thermal, and electrically conductive features, will address the deficiencies that currently exist in POCT devices. In this review, we mainly analyze the work processes of POCT devices, especially in nucleic acid detection, and summarize how novel nanomaterials used in various aspects of POCT products can improve performance, with the ultimate aims of offering new ideas for the application of nanomaterials and the overall development of POCT devices.

Abstract
Biofouling is a significant problem in the aquaculture and marine shipping industries; thus, various antifouling methods have been developed to prevent the resultant economic losses. In the present study, the superhydrophobic surface of a lotus leaf was bio-mimicked to achieve antifouling. Specifically, fabric substrates with and without superhydrophobic coatings on the surface were installed on the Tongyeong yacht in December 2020 (group A) and April 2021 (group B), and the coverage of the attached invertebrates was recorded every month until August 2021. The coverage of solitary ascidians (Ascidiella aspersa and Ciona robusta) and branching bryozoans (Bugula neritina) was lower on the coated substrates than on the non-coated ones, and coating or non-coating was significantly correlated with the extent of coverage. Superhydrophobic substrates with a low surface energy and micro-nano dual structure may be unsuitable for the attachment of larvae. Therefore, superhydrophobic coating is a more effective and simpler method of antifouling for certain taxa than other antifouling strategies. However, the antifouling effect of the superhydrophobic substrate in group A reduced after 5 months from the first installation; thus, the durability of the antifouling coating should be further improved, and solving this problem remains a major task, necessitating further research.

TPP exhibited shell-like surface morphology with micro-ripples and excellent anti-adhesion properties against bacteria and diatom. The micro-ripples surface might be caused by the strong hydrogen bonding or ionic interaction among tyrosine units resulting in microphase separation during the curing process. Tyrosine content in TPP resin has a great influence on the surface properties, morphology and antifouling characteristics. The higher the tyrosine content, the higher is the surface hydrophilicity, the denser and more regular is the micro-ripples morphology, and the stronger is the antifouling performance. TPP-60 % exhibited the best antifouling performance. Combination of the surface hydrophilicity and regular micro-ripples surface morphology afford TPP excellent antifouling performance. TPP resins offer a broad prospect for developing phenolic resin in the antifouling field.

Abstract
Chemistry and topography are the two distinct available tools for customizing different bio-inspired liquid wettability including superhydrophobicity, superamphiphobicity, underwater superoleophobicity, underwater superoleophilicity, and liquid infused slippery property. In nature, various living species possessing super and special liquid wettability inherently comprises of distinctly patterned surface topography decorated with low/high surface energy. Inspired from the topographically diverse natural species, the variation in surface topography has been the dominant approach for constructing bio-inspired antiwetting interfaces. However, recently, the modulation of chemistry has emerged as a facile route for the controlled tailoring of a wide range of bio-inspired liquid wettability. This review article aims to summarize the various reports published over the years that has elaborated the distinctive importance of both chemistry and topography in imparting and modulating various bio-inspired wettability. Moreover, this article outlines some obvious advantages of chemical modulation approach over topographical variation. For example, the strategic use of the chemical approach has allowed the facile, simultaneous, and independent tailoring of both liquid wettability and other relevant physical properties. We have also discussed the design of different antiwetting patterned and stimuli-responsive interfaces following the strategic and precise alteration of chemistry for various prospective applications.

Femtosecond Laser-Ablated Copper Surface as a Substrate for a MoS 2-Based Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalyst. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15113926.

Abstract
One of the methods to improve the performance of a heterogeneous electrocatalyst is the dispersion of a catalytic material on a suitable substrate. In this study, femtosecond laser ablation was used to prepare very rough but also ordered copper surfaces consisting of vertical, parallel ridges. Then, a molybdenum sulfide coating was electrochemically deposited onto these surfaces. It was observed by profilometry that the average roughness of the surface after coating with MoS2 had decreased, but the developed surface area still remained significantly larger than the projected surface area. The electrodes were then used as an electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction in acidic media. These were highly efficient, reaching 10 mA cm−2 of HER current at a −181 mV overpotential and a Tafel slope of ~39 mV dec−1. Additionally, scanning electrochemical microscopy was used to observe whether hydrogen evolution would preferentially occur in certain spots, for example, on the peaks, but the obtained results suggest that the entire surface is active. Finally, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data showed the difference in the double-layer capacitance between the ablated and non-ablated surfaces (up to five times larger) as well as the parameters that describe the improved catalytic activity of fs-Cu/MoS2 electrodes.

Abstract
Catalyst wettability regulation has emerged as an attractive approach for high catalytic performance for the past few years. By introducing appropriate wettability, the molecule diffusion of reactants and products can be enhanced, leading to high activity. Besides this, undesired molecules are isolated for high selectivity of target products and long-term stability of catalyst. Herein, we summarize wettability-induced high-performance heterogeneous thermocatalysis in recent years, including hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, hybrid hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity, amphiphilicity, and superaerophilicity. Relevant reactions are further classified and described according to the reason for the performance improvement. It should be pointed out that studies of utilizing superaerophilicity to improve heterogeneous thermocatalytic performance have been included for the first time, so this is a comparatively comprehensive review in this field as yet.

Abstract
The slippery liquid-infused surfaces show a great antibacterial property. However, most liquid-infused surfaces cannot detect whether or not the unknown aqueous samples contain microorganisms. Therefore, it is highly necessary but a challenge to integrate bacterial sensing capability into antibacterial surface. In this work, we prepared a slippery patterned liquid-infused nanocoating on the glass substrate for integrating bacterial sensing capability into the bacterial repellence surface. Dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) with a suitable particle size of ca. 128 nm were employed as a building block to fabricate the multifunctional nanocoating with a superhydrophilic microwell and hydrophobic periphery by a dip-coating strategy, hydrophobic treatment, photomask-mediated plasma etching, and liquid infusion. Dendritic porous silica nanoparticles (DPSNs) with a larger particle size of ca. 260 nm were uniformly loaded with Au nanoparticles (NPs), providing large surface area for the modification of Raman reporter (4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA)) and aptamer. Thus, as a Raman tag, the formed DPSNs-Au-MBA-aptamer could achieve sensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection of target bacteria. Combined with the Raman tag, the patterned liquid-infused nanocoating not only completely repelled bacteria on the hydrophobic area but also enabled sensitive SERS detection of Staphylococcus aureus in a very low sample volume (1 μL) with a low detection limit of 2.6 colony formation units (CFU)/mL on the antibody-modified superhydrophilic microwell. This research provided a novel and reliable strategy to construct a multifunctional nanocoating with microbial repellence and sensing capabilities.

Abstract
Reducing the contact time (tc ) of a droplet impacting a solid surface is crucial in various fields. Superhydrophobic (SHB) surfaces are used to reduce tc at room temperature. However, at high temperatures, SHB surfaces cannot achieve tc reduction because of the failure of the coating materials or the Leidenfrost (LF) effect. Therefore, a surface that can suppress the LF effect and reduce tc at high temperatures is required. To create such a surface, a double-reentrant groove (DRG) array surface with an overhanging structure on top of the microgrooves is developed. The overhanging structure renders the surface hydrophobic (HB). Despite its HB nature, the DRG surface's LF point (LFP) is observed at ≈530 °C, which is higher than the LFP on other HB surfaces. Moreover, a tc smaller than the inertia-capillary limit on the DRG surface is observed at between 400 and 500 °C. Accordingly, the DRG surface is currently the only HB surface for tc reduction at high temperatures. The DRG surface avoids the limitation of low LFPs observed on HB surfaces. Due to its HB properties, the DRG surface is determined to exhibit self-cleaning characteristics and can be used in various applications at high temperatures.

Abstract
Fish scale-inspired underwater superoleophobic coatings with low oil adhesion can be achieved through the creation of hierarchical surface topography on water-compatible materials (including polymeric hydrogels, metal oxides, and electrostatic multilayers). While promising, these method do not allow for the underwater superoleophobicity and oil adhesion to be independently tuned, limiting their potential applications. Here we report the design of a conceptually novel class of coatings, dually reactive multilayer coatings, whose underwater superoleophobicity and oil adhesion can be independently tuned through the orthogonal functionalization of two types of reactive moieties at ambient conditions. Moreover, the cooperative assembly of amphiphiles on the modified underwater superoleophobic coating gives rise to a switchable oil adhesion while retaining the extreme oil-repellency (advancing oil contact angle >165°). Interestingly, the reversible change in the oil adhesion of the underwater superoleophobic coatings depends on the interplay between the molecular structure and concentration of the amphiphiles and the pH of the aqueous solution. Building on these findings, we developed superoleophobic sensors that enable the real-time and naked eye identification of (1) the charge of synthetic ionic surfactants and (2) the concentration of bile acids. Overall, the results reported in this work provide design principles by which molecular self-assembly and oil adhesion can be coupled at underwater superoleophobic surfaces, and hint at principles by which physiologically important amphiphiles and metabolites can be rapidly sensed with the naked eye using our novel class of superoleophobic surfaces.

Abstract
The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has accelerated efforts to develop high-performance antiviral surface coatings while highlighting the need to build a strong mechanistic understanding of the chemical design principles that underpin antiviral surface coatings. Herein, we critically summarize the latest efforts to develop antiviral surface coatings that exhibit virus-inactivating functions through disrupting lipid envelopes or protein capsids. Particular attention is focused on how cutting-edge advances in material science are being applied to engineer antiviral surface coatings with tailored molecular-level properties to inhibit membrane-enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. Key topics covered include surfaces functionalized with organic and inorganic compounds and nanoparticles to inhibit viruses, and self-cleaning surfaces that incorporate photocatalysts and triplet photosensitizers. Application examples to stop COVID-19 are also introduced and demonstrate how the integration of chemical design principles and advanced material fabrication strategies are leading to next-generation surface coatings that can help thwart viral pandemics and other infectious disease threats.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds often have a slow healing process and become easily infected owing to hyperglycemia in wound beds. Once planktonic bacterial cells develop into biofilms, the diabetic wound becomes more resistant to treatment. Although it remains challenging to accelerate healing in a diabetic wound due to complex pathology, including bacterial infection, high reactive oxygen species, chronic inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis, the development of multifunctional hydrogels is a promising strategy. Multiple functions, including antibacterial, pro-angiogenesis, and overall pro-healing, are high priorities. Here, design strategies, mechanisms of action, performance, and application of functional hydrogels are systematically discussed. The unique properties of hydrogels, including bactericidal and wound healing promotive effects, are reviewed. Considering the clinical need, stimuli-responsive and multifunctional hydrogels that can accelerate diabetic wound healing are likely to form an important part of future diabetic wound management.

Abstract
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) accelerates the corrosion and degradation of metal materials due to the settlement of microorganisms on the surface. However, environmentally friendly and efficient methods to fabricate antifouling and anticorrosion surfaces are still lacking. Inspired by Nepenthes, a slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS) has been proven to be an efficient way to inhibit settlement of microorganisms on the metal surface and the following MIC due to the existence of a mobile defect-free lubricant layer. However, the stability of the lubricant layer and substrate of the SLIPS prevented its long-term antifouling and anticorrosion application. Herein, a highly stable slippery organogel was fabricated by depositing a homogeneous mixture of PDMS (base and curing agent), silicone oil, triethoxyvinylsilane, and SiO2 on Q235 and curing in an oven. Triethoxyvinylsilane was not only able to cross-link with the curing agent of PDMS through hydrosilylation but also able to interlink the organogel and Q235 through condensation between the -OH of the metal surface and hydrolyzed siloxane. As a result, the adhesion force between the organogel without triethoxyvinylsilane and the substrate (0.45 MPa) increased to 1.50 MPa for the organogel with triethoxyvinylsilane and SiO2. Also, the tensile strength of the organogel without SiO2 (0.97 MPa) increased to 3.88 MPa for the organogel with 2 wt % SiO2 because of the high elastic modulus of SiO2, which was important to improving its stability under external force. In addition, the organogel showed stable oil distribution and slippery performance after spinning at 4000 rpm for 30 s. Then, the bacterial settlement demonstrated that the organogel could effectively inhibit Pseudoalteromonas sp. settlement on the substrate under both static and dynamic conditions. Finally, an electrochemical test indicated that the MIC could be effectively mitigated by the organogel. This study provides an efficient method to fabricate a highly stable slippery surface on a metal surface for its potential application in mitigating MIC.

Abstract
This study proposes a plasmonic resonance-tunable nanocomposite thin film, which applies to a color filter, heat mirror, semi-transparent color electrode, and electromagnetic shield, given that the size and structure of nanoclusters can be controlled by a sputtering power density. The structural and functional properties of silver/plasma-polymer-fluorocarbon (Ag/PPFC) nanocomposite thin films, which were sputtered by ternary composite targets, were investigated with various compositions and sputtering power densities. The growth of Ag nanoclusters of the thin film was suppressed as the sputtering power density increased due to the rich functional group of -CFx- fluorine. As a result, a continuous color change from blue to yellow could be expressed on films given the precise control of the surface plasmonic resonance phenomenon. Grazing-incidence small-angle scattering (GISAXS) analysis indicated that the sputtering power density had a significant effect on the size, distribution, and orientation of the Ag nanoclusters in the thin film. For low sputtering power densities, Ag nanoclusters were forming aggregations along the out-of-plane direction, but as the sputtering power density increased, the nanoclusters showed random distribution instead of large aggregates. We also demonstrated applications of Ag/PPFC nanocomposite thin films to a color filter, heat mirror, semi-transparent electrode, and electromagnetic shield. In addition, the fabrication of a large-area film (400 × 700 mm2) showed that the approach applies highly to industries.

Abstract
In order to satisfy the needs of different applications and more complex intelligent devices, smart control of surface wettability will be necessary and desirable, which gradually become a hot spot and focus in the field of interface wetting. Herein, we review interfacial wetting states related to switchable wettability on superwettable materials, including several classical wetting models and liquid adhesive behaviors based on the surface of natural creatures with special wettability. This review mainly focuses on the recent developments of the smart surfaces with switchable wettability and the corresponding regulatory mechanisms under external stimuli, which is mainly governed by the transformation of surface chemical composition and geometrical structures. Among that, various external stimuli such as physical stimulation (temperature, light, electric, magnetic, mechanical stress), chemical stimulation (pH, ion, solvent) and dual or multi-triggered stimulation have been sought out to realize the regulation of surface wettability. Moreover, we also summarize the applications of smart surfaces in different fields, such as oil/water separation, programmable transportation, anti-biofouling, detection and delivery, smart soft robotic etc. Furthermore, current limitations and future perspective in the development of smart wetting surfaces are also given. This review aims to offer deep insights into the recent developments and responsive mechanisms in smart biomimetic surfaces with switchable wettability under external various stimuli, so as to provide a guidance for the design of smart surfaces and expand the scope of both fundamental research and practical applications.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic materials have been widely reported throughout the scientific literature. Their properties originate from a highly rough morphology and inherently water repellent surface chemistry. Despite promising an array of functionalities, these materials have seen limited commercial development. This could be attributed to many factors, like material compatibility, low physical resilience, scaling-up complications, etc. In applications where persistent water contact is required, another limitation arises as a major concern, which is the stability of the air layer trapped at the surface when submerged or impacted by water. This review is aimed at examining the diverse array of research focused on monitoring/improving air layer stability, and highlighting the most successful approaches. The reported complexity of monitoring and enhancing air layer stability, in conjunction with the variety of approaches adopted, results in an assortment of suggested routes to achieving success. The review is addressing the challenge of finding a balance between maximising water repulsion and incorporating structures that protect air pockets from removal, along with challenges related to the variant approaches to testing air-layer stability across the research field, and the gap between the achieved progress and the required performance in real-life applications.

Abstract
To produce next-generation, shelf-stable biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics, a combination of rugged biomolecular recognition elements, efficient encapsulants, and innocuous deposition approaches is needed. Furthermore, to ensure that the sensitivity and specificity that are inherent to biological recognition elements are maintained in solid-state biosensing systems, site-specific immobilization chemistries must be invoked such that the function of the biomolecule remains unperturbed. In this work, we present a widely applicable strategy to develop robust solid-state biosensors using emergent nanobody (Nb) recognition elements coupled with a vapor-deposited polymer encapsulation layer. As compared to conventional immunoglobulin G antibodies, Nbs are smaller (12-15 kDa as opposed to ~150 kDa), have higher thermal stability and pH tolerance, boast greater ease of recombinant production, and are capable of binding antigens with high affinity and specificity. Photoinitiated chemical vapor deposition affords thin, protective polymer barrier layers over immobilized Nb arrays that allow for retention of Nb activity and specificity after both storage under ambient conditions and complete desiccation. Most importantly, we also demonstrate that vapor-deposited polymer encapsulation of Nb arrays enables specific detection of target proteins in complex heterogeneous samples, such as unpurified cell lysate, which is otherwise challenging to achieve with bare Nb arrays.

Abstract
Despite advanced implant sterilization and aseptic surgical techniques, periprosthetic bacterial infection remains a major challenge for orthopedic and dental implants. Bacterial colonization/biofilm formation around implants and their invasion into the dense skeletal tissue matrices are difficult to treat and could lead to implant failure and osteomyelitis. These complications require major revision surgeries and extended antibiotic therapies that are associated with high treatment cost, morbidity, and even mortality. Effective preventative measures mitigating risks for implant-related infections are thus in dire need. This review focuses on recent developments of anti-periprosthetic infection strategies aimed at either reducing bacterial adhesion, colonization, and biofilm formation or killing bacteria directly in contact with and/or in the vicinity of implants. These goals are accomplished through antifouling, quorum-sensing interfering, or bactericidal implant surface topographical engineering or surface coatings through chemical modifications. Surface topographical engineering of lotus leaf mimicking super-hydrophobic antifouling features and cicada wing-mimicking, bacterium-piercing nanopillars are both presented. Conventional physical coating/passive release of bactericidal agents is contrasted with their covalent tethering to implant surfaces through either stable linkages or linkages labile to bacterial enzyme cleavage or environmental perturbations. Pros and cons of these emerging anti-periprosthetic infection approaches are discussed in terms of their safety, efficacy, and translational potentials.

Abstract
Control promotion and prevention of platelet adhesion are important for various biomedical applications. In the past, surface topography and chemical modifications have been commonly utilized for tailoring the promotion and prevention of platelet adhesion. Recently, lotus-leaf-inspired superhydrophobicity has appeared as an efficient avenue to prevent platelet adhesion. However, such extreme water repellent interfaces fail to perform upon prolonged and continuous exposure to aqueous phase. In this communication, the strategic use of a catalyst-free 1,4-conjugate addition reaction between amine and acrylate allowed us to investigate the impact of two distinct underwater oil-wettability on platelet adhesion activity. While underwater superoleophobicity inhibited platelet-adhesion, a highly aggregated fibrous network of adhered platelets was observed on underwater superoleophilic coating. Further, this biocompatible and haemocompatible underwater superoleophobic multilayer coating was deposited on a commercially available catheter tube to examine its potential towards the prevention of platelet attachment.

Abstract
Poly(dimethylsiloxane) is a common dispersant, modifier, and binder in the field of bioinspired wettability. Herein, the soot production when poly(dimethylsiloxane) was burning was used to directly construct a superhydrophobic coating with the water contact angle reaching 159.7°. After the lubricant was infused, its transparency was greater than 80% of air in the visible light range of the human eye. In addition, the sliding angle and contact angle of the coating were stable for 15 days. It showed excellent oil-locking ability and stability. Even if the superhydrophobic coating was immersed in various organic solvents for 15 days, its hydrophobicity did not change. Moreover, the coating had an excellent anti-fouling ability and self-cleaning ability to meet actual application conditions. Furthermore, the preparation method was simple and rapid, without the participation of fluorine-containing modifiers, and provides a brand-new method for preparing transparent lubricant-infused surfaces.

Abstract
There is significant demand for the development of rapid, sensitive, and specific methods for detecting bacterial pathogens in order to identify the causes of food poisoning. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) allow for the culture-free detection of bacterial pathogens and are not as labor intensive and time consuming as culture-based detection methods. However, suitable sample preparation methods must be developed for the realization of simple, rapid, and sensitive NAATs. To resolve this problem, we developed a new sample preparation method that integrates bacterial pathogen enrichment and DNA extraction. We engineered magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with a physicochemical probe (tryptamine) for single-tube sample preparation with minimal sample loss. The tryptamine-functionalized MNPs (Indole@MNPs) showed inherent hydrophobicity owing to the indole side chain and a change in their zeta potential with a decrease in the pH. Because of their physicochemical characteristics, the Indole@MNPs could adsorb bacterial pathogens, thus allowing sample enrichment and DNA binding and release through weak electrostatic interactions via pH control. We successfully detected Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, a common cause of bacterial food poisoning, at a concentration of 10 CFU/10 mL in milk samples using quantitative PCR. Thus, the proposed method allows for the simple and sensitive detection of Salmonella typhimurium and can be used for nontyphoidal salmonella detection to ensure food safety.

Abstract
Marine biofouling is a ubiquitous problem that accompanies human marine activities and marine industries. It exerts detrimental impacts on the economy, environment, ecology, and safety. Traditionally, mainstream approaches utilize metal ions to prevent biological contamination, but this also leads to environmental pollution and damage to the ecosystem. Efficient and environmentally friendly coatings are urgently needed to prevent marine devices from biofouling. Since nature is always the best teacher for humans, it offers us delightful thoughts on the research and development of high-efficiency, broad-spectrum and eco-friendly antifouling coatings. In this work, we focus on the research frontier of marine antifouling coatings from a bionic perspective. Enlightened by three distinctive dimensions of bionics: chemical molecule bionic, physiological mechanism bionic, and physical structure bionic, the research status of three main bioinspired strategies, which are natural antifoulants, bioinspired polymeric antifouling coatings, and biomimetic surface microtopographies, respectively, are demonstrated. The antifouling mechanisms are further interpreted based on biomimetic comprehension. The main fabrication methods and antifouling performances of these coatings are presented along with their advantages and drawbacks. Finally, the challenges are summarized, and future research prospects are proposed. It is believed that biomimetic antifouling strategies will contribute to the development of nontoxic antifouling techniques with exceptional repellency and stability.

Abstract
Biofouling is a serious threat to marine renewable energy structures and marine aquaculture operations alike. As an alternative to toxic surface coatings, ultrasonic antifouling control has been proposed as an environmentally friendly means to reduce biofouling. However, the impact of ultrasound on fish farmed in offshore structures or in marine multi-purpose platforms, combining renewable energy production and aquaculture, has not yet been assessed. Here we study the impact of ultrasound on the growth and microbiota of farmed European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) under laboratory conditions. Whereas growth and survival were not reduced by ultrasound exposure, microbiological analysis using plate counts and 16S rRNA gene based metataxonomics showed a perturbation of the gill and skin microbiota, including an increase in putative pathogenic bacteria. This warrants further research into the long-term effects of ultrasonic antifouling control on the health and wellbeing of farmed fish.

Abstract
Human beings learn from creatures in nature and imitate them to solve challenges in daily life. Thus, the use of bioinspired surfaces for drag reduction has attracted extensive attention in recent years due to their important applications in many fields, such as pipeline systems, maritime transportation, and military weapons. Herein, we introduce some typical plants and animals with low drag surfaces that exist in nature, focusing on their drag reduction patterns. There are two main mechanisms to explain how surfaces reduce frictional drag, where one is to design a suitable surface geometry to change the flow distribution of surrounding fluid and the other is to introduce a low friction lubricating layer (usually air or non-toxic silicone oil) to partially or completely replace the solid-liquid interface. Hence, by mimicking these organisms, some surfaces have been fabricated to reduce frictional drag, including riblets, superhydrophobic surfaces, and slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces. With the increasing research on drag-reducing surfaces, the drag reduction rate of different types of surface designs has greatly improved in recent years. This review provides a holistic overview that facilitates direct comparisons between these surface types. To select an optimal surface for drag reduction in practical applications, the merits and deficiencies of different surface designs are analysed and compared. Finally, based on the current challenges, we present some future prospects for the application of bioinspired surfaces in drag reduction.

Abstract
Janus wettability membranes have received much attention because of their asymmetric surface wettability. On the basis of this distinctiveness from traditional symmetrical membranes, relevant scholars have been inspired to pursue many innovations utilizing such membranes. Femtosecond laser microfabrication shows many advantages, such as precision, short time, and environmental friendliness, over traditional fabrication methods. Now this has been applied in structuring Janus membranes by researchers. This review covers recent advances in femtosecond laser-structured Janus membranes with asymmetric surface wettability. The background in femtosecond laser-structured Janus membranes is first discussed, focusing on the Janus wettability membrane and femtosecond laser microfabrication. Then the applications of Janus membranes are introduced, which are divided into unidirectional fluid transport, oil-water separation, fog harvesting, and seawater desalination. Finally, based on femtosecond laser-structured Janus membranes, some existing problems are pointed out and future perspectives proposed.
