Suppressing Evaporative Loss in Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) with Self-Suspended Perfluorinated Nanoparticles.

This article describes an approach to resolving the issue of evaporative loss from slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS). Hydrophobic and oleophobic fluids with significantly reduced evaporative loss rates at temperatures of up to 90 °C were obtained by the one-step mixing of commercially available perfluorinated lubricants with colloidal nanoparticles to form self-suspended nanoparticle fluids (i.e.
