Enhanced self-cleaning performance of bio-inspired micropillar-arrayed surface by shear.

Inspired by the sliding behavior of gecko feet during climbing, the contribution of the shear effect to the self-cleaning performance of a bio-inspired micropillar-arrayed surface is studied through a load-shear-pull contact process. It is found that self-cleaning efficiency can be enhanced significantly by shear. The efficiency also depends on microparticle size.

The exceptional adhesive ability of geckos remains almost uninfluenced by contaminated surfaces, showing that the adhesion system of geckos has self-cleaning properties. Although there have been several studies on the self-cleaning performance of geckos and gecko-inspired synthetic adhesives, the microscale mechanical mechanism of self-cleaning is still unclear. In the present study, a micropillar-arrayed surface is fabricated using a template molding method to investigate its self-cleaning performance in a load-pull contact process.

In Situ Electric-Induced Switchable Transparency and Wettability on Laser-Ablated Bioinspired Paraffin-Impregnated Slippery Surfaces.

Switchable wetting and optical properties on a surface is synergistically realized by mechanical or temperature stimulus. Unfortunately, in situ controllable wettability together with programmable transparency on 2D/3D surfaces is rarely explored. Herein, Joule-heat-responsive paraffin-impregnated slippery surface (JR-PISS) is reported by the incorporation of lubricant paraffin, superhydrophobic micropillar-arrayed elastomeric membrane, and embedded transparent silver nanowire thin-film heater.

Manipulating underwater bubbles (UGBs) is realized on morphology-tailored or stimuli-responsive slippery lubricant-impregnated porous surface (SLIPS). Unfortunately, the volatile lubricants (, silicone oil, ferrofluid) greatly decrease their using longevity. Designed is light-responsive paraffin-infused FeO-doped slippery surface (LR-PISS) by incorporation of hybrid lubricants and superhydrophobic micropillar-arrayed elastometric membranes resulted from one-step femtosecond laser vertically scanning.

Superhydrophobic surfaces with a monostable Cassie state possess numerous interesting applications in many fields, such as microfluidics, oil-water separation, drag reduction, self-cleaning, heat dissipation, and so on. How to guarantee a monostable Cassie state of a superhydrophobic surface is still an interesting problem. In this paper, considering the influence of external interferences that may induce the possible wettability transition, the whole wetting process of a droplet on a trapezoidal micropillar-arrayed superhydrophobic surface is divided into six possible stages.
