Transferrable Electrospinning Nanofiber Meshes as Strongly Adhered Scaffolds for Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces.

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) are self-healing protective coatings that can be made by infiltration of a porous scaffold with a chemically resistant oil. A popular method to apply a SLIPS coating is using electrospinning to deposit a nanofiber mesh onto the intended substrate. However, electrospinning only lightly deposits the nanofibers onto the intended substrate, so the coating detaches easily even when unintended.
