Abstract:

Titanium alloys with special macro-micro composite structures of directional hydrophobicity are difficult to prepare due to poor thermal conductivity and good corrosion resistance, inhibiting the wide engineering applications for aerospace, marine engineering, and biomedicine. To prepare macro-micro composite structures on the surface of titanium alloys and achieve directional hydrophobicity, the sub-millimeter structures with an edge width of 150 μm, a groove width of 250 μm, and a depth of 250 μm were fabricated on the titanium alloy by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) technology, and high voltage-induced weak electric arc machining (HV-μEAM) was used to fabricate micro-scale feature size micro-structures on the processed macro-structure edges. The influence of process parameters on the morphology of microstructures was studied experimentally. The smooth surface of the titanium alloy is isotropically hydrophilic, and its contact angle is 68°. After processing the macrostructure on the titanium alloy surface, it shows directional hydrophobicity after being modified by low surface energy materials. The macro-micro composite structure formed by HV-μEAM realizes a directional hydrophobic surface with contact angles (CA) of 140° (parallel direction) and 130° (perpendicular direction), respectively. This surface has been modified with low surface energy to achieve contact angles of 154° and 143°. The results of the abrasion resistance test show that under the load of 100 g, it retains directional hydrophobicity at a friction distance of 700 mm with 600# sandpaper. The existence of the sub-millimeter macrostructure is the reason for the directionality of surface hydrophobicity. The microstructure can realize the transformation of the titanium alloy surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Under the combined effects of the macro and micro composite structure, the surface of the titanium alloy shows obvious directional hydrophobicity.

Abstract:

A superhydrophobic fabric surface was fabricated by forming a dual roughness structure in combination with lowered surface energy. The contribution of the innate micro-scale roughness resulting from the waviness of filaments and yarns in a woven fabric on hydrophobicity was investigated in comparison with a smooth film surface. Though the micro-scale roughness coming from the multi-filaments of fabric was conducive in enhancing the hydrophobicity of the surface, the micro-scale roughness itself was not enough to create superhydrophobicity. Thus a nano-scale roughness was introduced by an anisotropic etching employing oxygen plasma etching followed by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. As for the nano-scale roughness, however, it was possible to achieve the superhydrophobicity only with nano-scale roughness, but with a very large aspect ratio of nano-pillar structure. In the presence of dual-scale roughness consisting of both micro- and nano-scale structures, the superhydrophobic characteristic was effectively achieved even at a small aspect ratio of nano-pillar. By adjusting the number of filaments in a yarn and by controlling the plasma process time, it was possible to control the dual-scale roughness of a woven fabric and its wettability. An excessive thinning and lengthening of nano-pillars may negatively affect the hydrophobicity by the collapse and aggregation of pillar tips, and an appropriate processing condition is critical to design a durable superhydrophobic surface.

Abstract:

Both water repellency and water vapour barrier properties were endowed at paper surface by coating with beeswax-chitosan latex. It was found that the water vapour transmission rate of coated paper decreased as the drying temperature increased. However, water contact angle was not affected with it. Although the surface morphology deformed at high drying temperature, the roughness values maintained at micro-scale. Further analysis indicated that the water vapour barrier property of coated paper was influenced by the density of the coating layer.

Abstract:

In this study, we used shot peening-etching method to construct the multi-scale morphology on the surface of 316L stainless steel, assisted by surface modification to improve hydrophobicity. The effects of the diameter of projectile (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mm) and shot peening time (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 min) on the multi-scale morphology and hydrophobicity of the samples were studied. Meanwhile, the surface morphology was examined by metallographic microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surface profile and roughness were characterized by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). The fractal dimension D was calculated by data analysis software, and the static contact angle measuring instrument was used to evaluate the hydrophobic performance. The results show that the smaller the diameter of projectile is, the stronger the hydrophobicity of the sample is, and there is the best time for shot peening. Moreover, the size and distance of pits on the surface decrease as the diameter of projectile decreases. The roughness of the surface shows a tendency to increase first and decrease with the increase of shot peening time, and the contact angle has the same tendency. The contact angle of the sample surface increases as the fractal dimension D increases. When the diameter of the projectile is 0.2 mm and the shot peening time is 2 min, after etching and surface modification, the static contact angle is 137.4° and the solid-liquid contact area is only 15.4%. This method has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency and environment-friendly, which is beneficial to the large-scale production of hydrophobic materials.

Abstract:

Peptides fold on a time scale that is much smaller than the time required for synthesis, whence all proteins potentially fold cotranslationally to some degree (followed by additional folding events after release from the ribosome). In this paper, in three different ways, we find that cotranslational folding success is associated with higher hydrophobicity at the N-terminus than at the C-terminus. First, we fold simple HP models on a square lattice and observe that HP sequences that fold better cotranslationally than from a fully extended state exhibit a positive difference (N−C) in terminus hydrophobicity. Second, we examine real proteins using a previously established measure of potential cotranslationality known as ALR (Average Logarithmic Ratio of the extent of previous contacts) and again find a correlation with the difference in terminus hydrophobicity. Finally, we use the cotranslational protein structure prediction program SAINT and again find that such an approach to folding is more successful for proteins with higher N-terminus than C-terminus hydrophobicity. All results indicate that cotranslational folding is promoted in part by a hydrophobic start and a less hydrophobic finish to the sequence.

Abstract:

In previous research, in order to simulate the 3D structure of MEMS device, we developed a software named Virtual Process which can help the designer to testify his/her design by comparing the simulation result with real requirements. As Virtual Process could only find out the difference in structure, we put forward a new method, which can compare the functions of the device to verify the simulation result. In this paper, we take hydrophobicity as an example to show the comparison between the results of simulation and experiment. The hydrophobicity is expressed by contact angle, which is measured by certain device in reality. In this case, this paper put forward a method to calculate the contact angle to verify the hydrophobicity of black silicon. Besides, we put forward a method combining micro/nano dual-scale DRIE to realize the simulation of black silicon before the calculation. As a result, the contact angle of black silicon between our calculating method and the actual value is only 7° .

Abstract:

Performance of membranes for water purification is highly influenced by the interactions of solvated species with membrane surfaces, including surface adsorption of solutes upon fouling. Current efforts toward fouling-resistant membranes often pursue surface hydrophilization, frequently motivated by macroscopic measures of hydrophilicity, because hydrophobicity is thought to increase solute–surface affinity. While this heuristic has driven diverse membrane functionalization strategies, here we build on advances in the theory of hydrophobicity to critically examine the relevance of macroscopic characterizations of solute–surface affinity. Specifically, we use molecular simulations to quantify the affinities to model hydroxyl- and methyl-functionalized surfaces of small, chemically diverse, charge-neutral solutes represented in produced water. We show that surface affinities correlate poorly with two conventional measures of solute hydrophobicity, gas-phase water solubility and oil–water partitioning. Moreover, we find that all solutes show attraction to the hydrophobic surface and most to the hydrophilic one, in contrast to macroscopically based hydrophobicity heuristics. We explain these results by decomposing affinities into direct solute interaction energies (which dominate on hydroxyl surfaces) and water restructuring penalties (which dominate on methyl surfaces). Finally, we use an inverse design algorithm to show how heterogeneous surfaces, with multiple functional groups, can be patterned to manipulate solute affinity and selectivity. These findings, importantly based on a range of solute and surface chemistries, illustrate that conventional macroscopic hydrophobicity metrics can fail to predict solute–surface affinity, and that molecular-scale surface chemical patterning significantly influences affinity—suggesting design opportunities for water purification membranes and other engineered interfaces involving aqueous solute–surface interactions.

Abstract:

The fabrication of large area nanoscale periodic structures on material surfaces for hydrophobicity engineering has been difficult due to the complex processes. Here we propose a two-step fabrication method for periodic nanostructures by combining laser interference lithography (LIL) and reactive ion etching (RIE). Sub-micron periodic nanotip patterns are fabricated in the photoresist by LIL, and then transferred into the silicon substrate using RIE. By measuring the contact angle (CA) of a water droplet on the substrate surface, the wettability of the surface with nanotip structures of various periods is studied. Our experiments show that the nanotip structures fabricated by the combined LIL and RIE process deliver satisfactory hydrophobic tendencies when the periods fall into the submicron scale. When the period of the structure is small enough, the hydrophilicity of the surface can be altered into hydrophobicity. The hydrophobicity achieved by this method is reusable and sustainable with low cost and no composition alteration comparing to chemical methods. The process developed in this work provides potential applications in biosensingand digital fluidics.

Abstract:

The properties of water on both molecular and macroscopic surfaces critically influence a wide range of physical behaviors, with applications spanning from membrane science to catalysis to protein engineering. Yet, our current understanding of water interfacing molecular and material surfaces is incomplete, in part because measurement of water structure and molecular-scale properties challenges even the most advanced experimental characterization techniques and computational approaches. This review highlights progress in the ongoing development of tools working to answer fundamental questions on the principles that govern the interactions between water and surfaces. One outstanding and critical question is what universal molecular signatures capture the hydrophobicity of different surfaces in an operationally meaningful way, since traditional macroscopic hydrophobicity measures like contact angles fail to capture even basic properties of molecular or extended surfaces with any heterogeneity at the nanometer length scale. Resolving this grand challenge will require close interactions between state-of-the-art experiments, simulations, and theory, spanning research groups and using agreed-upon model systems, to synthesize an integrated knowledge of solvation water structure, dynamics, and thermodynamics.

Abstract:

In this article, we exploited a solution immersion method to conveniently construct a superhydrophobic textile surface with N-β-aminoethyl-γ-aminopropyl polysiloxane (ASO-1) and nano-silica and then investigated its micro-morphology and ultra-hydrophobic property using Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Static water contact angle analyzer, respectively. Results show that a hydrophobic film and many lotus-leaf-like micro-nano scale tubercles are coated on the textile surface, which are the reasons why the textile changed from hydrophilicity to super-hydrophobicity. Optimal ASO-1 dosage and processing time are 0.25 wt% ASO-1 in toluene solution and 15 minutes. In addition, with increase of the experimental nano-silica diameters at 30-280.7 nm, super-hydrophobicity of the treated textile surface slightly increases.

Abstract:

Hydrophobicity of macroscopic planar surface is conventionally characterized by the contact angle of water droplets. However, this engineering measurement cannot be directly extended to surfaces of proteins, due to the nanometer scale of amino acids and inherent nonplanar structures. To measure the hydrophobicity of side chains of proteins quantitatively, numerous parameters were developed to characterize behavior of hydrophobic solvation. However, consistency among these parameters is not always apparent. Herein, we demonstrate an alternative way of characterizing hydrophobicity of amino acid side chains in a protein environment by constructing a monolayer of amino acids (i.e., artificial planar peptide network) according to the primary and the β-sheet secondary structures of protein so that the conventional engineering measurement of the contact angle of a water droplet can be brought to bear. Using molecular dynamics simulations, contact angles θ of a water nanodroplet on the planar peptide network, together with excess chemical potentials of purely repulsive methane-sized Weeks−Chandler−Andersen solute, are computed. All of the 20 types of amino acids and the corresponding planar peptide networks are studied. Expectedly, all of the planar peptide networks with nonpolar amino acids are hydrophobic due to θ> 90°, whereas all of the planar peptide networks of the polar and charged amino acids are hydrophilic due to θ< 90°. Planar peptide networks of the charged amino acids exhibit complete-wetting behavior due to θ= 0°. This computational approach for characterization of hydrophobicity can be extended to artificial planar networks of other soft matter.

Abstract:

Abstract Adhesion is a crucial characteristic of hydrophobic surfaces that significantly impacts their practical applications. This paper proposes an innovative method for preparing a dual-scale micro-nano composite structure surface by combining mechanical ruling and anodic oxidation, which demonstrates great potential in enhancing hydrophobic surface properties. Through the analysis of the influence of micro-groove depth on the adhesion of hydrophobic surfaces, it has been discovered that micro-groove dimensions can be used to control surface adhesion while maintaining hydrophobicity, without complex chemical modifications. These findings present a promising approach for tailoring the properties of hydrophobic surfaces to suit specific applications. Compared with the single-scale micro-groove array structures, the surface roughness of the dual-scale micro-nano composite structures is significantly increased, and the contact angle of the water droplet is significantly increased. At the same time, the hydrophobicity and adhesion of the surface of the dual-scale micro-nano composite structures were analyzed. The results show that after anodizing, the contact angle of the dual-scale micro-nano composite structure surface increases, and the surface adhesion can be controlled by adjusting the structural parameters of the micro-groove and the anodizing process parameters, to ensure that the surface presents hydrophobic property while realizing the controllable adhesion of the hydrophobic surface. In this paper, dual-scale micro-nano composite structures fabricated by the composite method have achieved hydrophobic properties, and the surface adhesion can be effectively controlled by adjusting the processing parameters. This method has certain reference significance for the preparation of the controllable adhesive hydrophobic surface and lays a foundation for the further study of the controllable adhesive hydrophobic surface.

Abstract:

Superhydrophobic coating with applicable transmittance was synthesized by simple UV-curable method which was likely suitable for large-scale production. The super-hydrophobicity was derived from the component containing modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes which was chosen for low free energy and the potential to form hierarchical structure. The coating adhesion could reach the highest level by strip tape peel test. Compared to the UV-cured commercial coatings, the coating adhesion is enhanced by at least two levels. Super-hydrophobicity was preserved after long duration of water droplet impact, while water contact angle decreased slightly after sand impact due to partial damage of hierarchical structure. The coating can resist chemical corrosion by acid solution (HCl), base solution (NaOH) and salt solution (NaCl). The coating with water repellence function, adequate transmittance, and good mechanical and chemical stability is of great interest for practical outdoor applications.

Abstract:

The compound collector, composed of polar and nonpolar parts, is a current research hotspot in low-rank coal (LRC) flotation because of its outstanding flotation efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, the selection of compound proportions lacks theoretical guidance. In this study, we comprehensively investigate the internal mechanism underlying the influence of the compound proportion (oleic acid (OA):dodecane (DD)) on LRC flotation. The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation between bubble and oil film was simultaneously employed to study the surface interactions between three phases in contact. The compound proportion of OA:DD = 1:3 was found to be the most conductive for Zhuanlongwan coal flotation, which provides a robust collecting capacity while minimizing excessive interaction with water. Thus, the spreading area is the largest and the interaction energy between collectors and LRC is the highest. Additionally, the oil film formed at this ratio has the best hydrophobicity, resulting in the fastest adhesion speed of the bubble and the most stable bubble adhesion. Proportions of OA:DD above 1:3 promote self-aggregation of polar collectors, leading to a worsened spreading of the oil film. Conversely, proportions below 1:3 result in weak interaction with LRC, leading to a smaller spreading area and reduced hydrophobicity. Ultimately, we propose the LRC–compound collector matching principle, which suggests that the best proportion of compound collectors fits well with the oxygen-containing sites on the LRC surface.

Abstract:

The splash phenomenon and the scale of the surface deformation of post-fire soils in the variants of various hydrophobicity and moisture content were studied. Splash erosion is the result of the impact of a single water drop and was analysed using high-speed cameras, while the surface deformation was parameterized using a structured light scanner. The extremely water-repellent variant (dry_V) showed distinct differences, expressed primarily in the number of ejected particles, which was 2.5 times higher than in the four soils with lower levels of hydrophobicity. It was also observed that as a result of the drop impact onto an extremely hydrophobic soil surface, a form known as liquid marble was created inside the crater. Soil moisture content determined the manner, scale and dynamics of the splash erosion. In the case of wet soils, the phenomenon proceeded up to five times faster, and as a result of the drop impact, a large number of fine particles were ejected, which reached nearly twice the velocities and three times the displacement distances compared to the dry soil group. However, the particles and/or aggregate splashed on the dry samples were larger, which also translated into the formation of craters up to twice as extensive as those in the wet soils.

Abstract:

The properties of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface were modified by a one-step deposition of plasma polymerized hexamethyldisilazane (pp-HMDS) by the arc discharge method. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analytical techniques were employed for morphological, structural, and chemical characterization of the pp-HMDS modified PDMS surface. The changes in PDMS substrate wetting properties were evaluated by means of contact angle measurements. The unmodified PDMS surface is hydrophobic with a contact angle of 122°, while, after pp-HMDS film deposition, a dual-scale roughness PDMS surface with contact angle values as high as 170° was obtained. It was found that the value of the contact angle depends on the plasma processing time. Chemically, the pp-HMDS presents methyl moieties, rendering it hydrophobic and making it an attractive material for creating a superhydrophobic surface, and eliminating the need for complex chemical routes. The presented approach may open up new avenues in design and fabrication of superhydrophobic and flexible organosilicon materials with a self-cleaning function.

Abstract:

Three-dimensional cell culture has become a reliable method for reproducing in vitro cellular growth in more realistic physiological conditions. The surface hydrophobicity strongly influences the promotion of cell aggregate formation. In particular, for spheroid formation, highly water-repellent coatings seem to be required for the significant effects of the process. In this work, surfaces at different wettability have been compared to observe their influence on the growth and promotion of aggregates of representative mammalian cell lines, both tumoral and non-tumoral (3T3, HaCat and MCF-7 cell lines). The effect of increased hydrophobicity from TCPS to agarose hydrogel to mixed organic–inorganic superhydrophobic (SH) coating has been investigated by optical and fluorescence microscopy, and by 3D confocal profilometry, in a time scale of 24 h. The results show the role of less wettable substrates in inducing the formation of spheroid-like cell aggregates at a higher degree of sphericity for the studied cell lines.

Abstract:

An organoclay complex was synthesized by placing quaternary ammonium compound on low-charge bentonite (CEC = 90 meq/100 g) through cation exchange reaction. This kind of compex was examined for its ability to adsorb non-polar hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (BETX). The organic cation used in this study was the tricaprylmethylammonium (TCMA) ion which contains long-chain alkyl (tricapryl) groups of high hydrophobicity. The characteristics of TCMA-bentonite are presented from the results of Infrared red spectrum. The high adsorption of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene from aqueous solutions by TCMA-bentonite is found to be related to their hydrophobicity and water solubility. Free swell tests are also presented to contrast the swelling properties of bentonite with and without quaternary ammonium cations. The laboratory scale tests indicate that TCMA-bentonite could be used as an adsorbent to enhance the purification of aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated water or act as a liner material for removing non-polar contaminants.

Abstract:

Novel super-hydrophobic poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) membranes have been firstly prepared by modifying ordinary PAEK into hexafluorbisphenol A-PAEK through traditional nucleophilic condensation polymerization and subsequently simple electrospraying technique. With the solution concentration increased, the micromorphology exhibited nanofibers, nanofiber with spindles, 3D network with microspheres embedded, microspheres and dense films, successively. The static water contact angle increased from 99° to 155°, while the sliding angle from 1.3° to 6.8° (±1°), in which the 3D network presented the strongest super-hydrophobicity. After 200 h of water flushing, the rough surface structure and super-hydrophobicity of the membranes were well retained. Moreover, the membrane exhibited wonderful self-cleaning property, oil/water separation property, and stability due to the hierarchical micro/nanostructures. This work provides a new route for the creation of super-hydrophobic high performance engineering plastic fabrics with the potential values in large-scale application of filtration, oil/water separation, and antifouling.

Abstract:

The insertion of proteins into membranes is crucial for understanding their function in many biological processes. In this work, we present UNILIPID, a universal implicit lipid-protein description as a methodology for dealing with implicit membranes. UNILIPID is independent of the scale of representation and can be applied at the level of all atoms, coarse-grained particles down to the level of a single bead per amino acid. We provide example implementations for these scales and demonstrate the versatility of our approach by accurately reflecting the free energy of transfer for each amino acid. In addition to single membranes, we describe the analytical implementation of double membranes and show that UNILIPID is well suited for modeling at multiple scales. We generalize to membranes of arbitrary shape. With UNILIPID, we provide a methodological framework for a simple and general parameterization tuned to reproduce a selected reference hydrophobicity scale. The software we provide along with the methodological description is optimized for specific user features such as real-time response, live visual analysis, and virtual reality experiences.

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the effect of phosphorylation on the structure and emulsification of Coregonus peled, Esox lucius and Grass carp scale gelatin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and endogenous fluorescence spectra showed that the structures of the three fish scale gelatins changed. Additionally, the surface hydrophobicity index of the three fish scale gelatins increased by 36.72, 31.42 and 111.67, respectively, after 1 h of phosphorylation, and the surface tension decreased by 17.27, 32.58 and 18.7 mN/m, respectively. The emulsification activity index increased by 115.86, 155.22 and 45.52 m2/g, and the emulsification stability index increased by 98.37, 256.77 and 169.61 min, respectively. The structure of fish scale gelatin changed after phosphorylation, which resulted in the improvement of emulsification. This work will provide useful information to understand the relationship between the structure and function of gelatin.

Abstract:

A robust hydrophobic Y2O3 coating at high temperatures is important for industrial applications. In this study, Y2O3 thin films on Si substrates were prepared by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering. By changing the deposition power, Y2O3 thin films with different microstructures were obtained in poison mode and metallic mode, respectively. In order to understand the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and hydrophobicity of Y2O3, the samples were annealed at 400 °C in the air. Compared to metallic mode, no crack was formed on the surface of the Y2O3 film prepared in poison mode. In addition, the water contact angle on the surface of the Y2O3 thin film deposited in poison mode was above 90° before and after annealing at 400 °C. It has been demonstrated that the initial high concentration of physically absorbed oxygen and its slow desorption process in a Y2O3 thin film prepared in poison mode contributes to the hydrophobicity of the thin film at high temperatures. These results can provide insights into the large-scale fabrication of hydrophobic Y2O3 coatings for high-temperature applications.

Abstract:

The sorption of diesel, lubricant and castor oils onto different parts (root, stem and leaf) of the dry biomass water hyacinth was studied at the laboratory scale. The parts of the aquapyte water hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) were characterized by physico-chemical methods and the characteristics were used to elucidate the oil sorption process. Hydrophobicity, wettability (capillarity), buoyancy and sorption capacity of oils in the presence/absence of water were studied to evaluate the suitability of the sorbent for application. In all the three sorbents, theoil sorption capacity increases with the increase of oil film thickness. However of the three parts, the stem has a greater sorption capacity of 9.3, 7.8 and 11.08 g/g for the three oils such as diesel, lubricant and castor oils respectively, even though the root of water hyacinth showed a higher hydrophobicity and surface area. These sorption capacities are comparable with widely used commercial oil sorbent such as nonwoven polypropylene which has a sorption capacity in the range of 10-16 g/g.

Abstract:

This paper examines how the physicochemical characteristics of the solids are related to foam formation and describes how the foaming potential of full-scale plants can be assessed. The relations among activated sludge and biological foam hydrophobicity, scum index, aeration tank cover and filamentous population are evaluated. Individual parameter comparison reveals the scumming intensity can be estimated only on the assumption that foams is already established. None of the above mentioned characteristics can be reliably used to predict the foaming episodes at wastewater treatment plants.
