Electroporation of lipid bilayers is widely used in DNA transfection, gene therapy, and targeted drug delivery and has potential applications in water desalination and filtration. A better, more thorough molecular understanding is needed, however, before such devices can be effectively used and developed. From aqueous pore formation theory, electroporation behavior is known to be largely dictated by surface energy. We hypothesize that this surface energy can be described by separate head and tail components of the lipid molecules, which can be obtained experimentally. In this thesis, we demonstrated a basic ability to electroporate lipid bilayers as well as verify its electrical behavior. We formed lipid monolayer and bilayer films and studied their wetting properties using water, formamide, and diiodomethane. We determined that the strong interaction between polar liquids (water and formamide) and hydrophilic substrates (mica and glass) can affect the wetting behavior and quality of films. In addition, we verified that the resulting surface energy of lipid tails is mostly nonpolar. The insights of this work offer a first step towards characterizing the surface energies of different lipids and how they relate to the electroporation behavior.

Condensation is a ubiquitous process often observed in nature and our daily lives. The large amount of latent heat released during the condensation process has been harnessed in many industrial processes such as power generation, building heating and cooling, desalination, dew harvesting, thermal management, and refrigeration. Condensation has two modes: dropwise mode and filmwise mode. Although it has been known for decades that dropwise condensation outperforms filmwise condensation in heat transfer owing to the droplet shedding effects which can efficiently reduce thermal resistance, filmwise condensation still dominates industrial applications currently due to the high costs, low robustness and technical challenges of manufacturing dropwise coatings. During water condensation, dropwise mode can be readily promoted with thin hydrophobic coatings. Superhydrophobic surfaces made out of hydrophobic coatings on micro-or-nano-engineered surfaces have shown further heat transfer enhancement in dropwise condensation of water; however, the applications of these micro- or nanoscale structured surface designs have been restricted by the high manufacturing expenses and short range of subcooling limit. Recent studies have shown that the combination of millimeter sized geometric features and plain hydrophobic coatings can effectively manipulate droplet distribution of water condensate, which provides opportunities to locally facilitate dropwise condensation at relatively low manufacturing expenses as compared to those delicate micro- and nano-structured hydrophobic surfaces. Low surface tension fluids such as hydrocarbons pose a unique challenge to achieving dropwise condensation, because common hydrophobic coatings are not capable of repelling low surface tension fluids. Recent development in lubricant infused surfaces (LIS) offers promising solutions to achieving dropwise condensation of low surface tension fluids by replacing the solid-condensate interface in conventional hydrophobic coatings with a smooth lubricant-condensate interface. However, only a few experimental studies have applied LIS to promoting dropwise condensation of low surface tension fluids (y as low as 15 mN/m). In this work, we investigated dropwise condensation of both water (y ~ 72 mN/m) and a low surface tension fluid, namely butane (y - 13 mN/m) on structured surfaces. For water condensation, we studied the effects of millimeter sized geometric structures on dropwise condensation heat transfer under two different environments: pure vapor and an air-vapor mixture. Our experimental results show that, although convex structures enable faster droplet growth in an air-vapor mixture, the same structures impose the opposite effect during pure vapor condensation, hindering droplet growth. We developed a numerical model for each case to predict the heat flux distribution along the structured surface, and the model shows good agreement with experimental results. This work demonstrates that the effects of geometric features on dropwise condensation are not invariable but rather dependent on the scenario of resistances to heat and mass transfer in the system. For butane condensation, based on a design guideline we recently developed for lubricant infused surfaces, we successfully designed an energy-favorable combination of lubricant and structured solid substrate, which was further demonstrated to promote dropwise condensation of butane. The fundamental understanding of dropwise condensation of water and low surface tension fluids on structured surfaces developed in this study provides useful guidelines for condensation applications including power generation, desalination, dew harvesting, and thermal management.
