Hyperbranched Vanillin‐Based Composite Coating: Achieve Efficient Icephobicity in High Humidity and Dynamic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Sept. 30, 2024

Abstract Despite tremendous advancements in icephobic coating technology, efficacy frequently declines or completely disappears low temperatures, high humidity, and dynamic environments. Here, a hyperbranched vanillin‐based composite with efficient properties (HVIC) is prepared by combining phosphazene compounds oil‐stored SiO 2 through imine bonds‐ HVIC exhibits excellent hydrophobicity, water sliding angle of 9°. This coating's exceptional slippery performance imparts outstanding non‐adhesive, self‐cleaning characteristics, deicing (τ ice : 8.2 kPa). It noteworthy that performs anti‐icing anti‐frosting low‐temperature humidity Compared superhydrophobic coatings (SHC), the icing delay time 9.1 times SHC, frosting extended roughly 300%. Most importantly, HVIC‐treated propeller experienced two ice‐shedding events during 200s test, while SHC lost its performance. can ensure normal operation equipment reducing energy consumption. The also significant UV shielding, antibacterial, flame retardant, self‐healing, recyclability properties. regarded as having potential for application due to easy scalable approach.

Design and Manufacturing of Micro/Nanorobots

International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 6(6), P. 062006 - 062006

Published: Aug. 21, 2024

Abstract Micro/nanorobots (MNRs) capable of performing tasks at the micro- and nanoscale hold great promise for applications in cutting-edge fields such as biomedical engineering, environmental microfabrication. To cope with intricate dynamic environments encountered practical applications, development high performance MNRs is crucial. They have evolved from single-material, single-function, simple structure to multi-material, multi-function, complex structure. However, design manufacturing multi-material three-dimensional structures pose significant challenges that cannot be addressed by conventional serial strategies single-process methods. The material-interface-structure-function/ coupled methods additive/formative/subtractive composite offer opportunity manufacture multi-materials under multi-factor coupling, thus paving way MNRs. In this paper, we take three core capabilities MNRs—mobility, controllability, load capability—as focal point, emphasizing oriented towards their function/performance functional structures. limitations current investigation are also discussed, our envisioned future directions shared. We hope review will provide a framework template MNRs, serving roadmap researchers interested area.

Laser Interference Additive Manufacturing: Mask Bundle Shape Bionic Shark Skin Structure

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(28), P. 37183 - 37196

Published: July 4, 2024

Here, we explored a new manufacturing strategy that uses the mask laser interference additive (MLIAM) technique, which combines respective strengths of lithography and to efficiently fabricate across-scales three-dimensional bionic shark skin structures with superhydrophobicity adhesive reduction. The phenomena mechanisms MLIAM curing process were revealed analyzed, showing feasibility flexibility. In terms structural performance, force on surface can be tuned based growth direction structures, where maximum rate reduction reaches about 65%. Furthermore, evolution directional diffusion for water droplet, is change contact angle, was clearly observed, mechanism also discussed by models. Moreover, no-loss transportations achieved successfully using gradient tuning modifying fluorinated silane. Finally, this work gives fabricating across-scale micro- nanometers, have potential application in bioengineering, diversional targeting, condenser surface.
