Pattern-dependent tunable adhesion of superhydrophobic MnO2 nanostructured film

Tuning the adhesive force on a superhydrophobic MnO(2) nanostructured film was achieved by fabricating different patterns including meshlike, ball cactus-like, and tilted nanorod structures. The marvelous modulation range of the adhesive forces from 130 to nearly 0 μN endows these superhydrophobic surfaces with extraordinarily different dynamic properties of water droplets. This pattern-dependent adhesive property is attributed to the kinetic barrier difference resulting from the different continuity of the three-interface contact line. This finding will provide the general strategies for the adhesion adjustment on superhydrophobic surfaces.     

Markedly controllable adhesion of superhydrophobic spongelike nanostructure TiO2 films

A simple electrochemical and self-assembly method was adopted for the fabrication of superhydrophobic spongelike nanostructured TiO2 surfaces with markedly controllable adhesion. Water adhesion ranging from ultralow (5.0 microN) to very high (76.6 microN) can be tuned through adjusting the nitro cellulose dosage concentrations. The detailed experiments and analyses have indicated that the significant increase of adhesion by introducing nitrocellulose is ascribed to the combination of hydrogen bonding between the nitro groups and the hydroxyl groups at the solid/liquid interfaces and the disruption of the densely packed hydrophobic 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PTES) molecule. A mechanism has been proposed to explain the formation of superhydrophobic TiO2 films with distinct adhesion.     

Thick Fe2O3, Fe3O4 films prepared by the chemical solution deposition method

Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄ films have been prepared from Fe(OCH₂CH(CH₃)₂)₃–(CH₃)₂CHCH₂OH–2.2′-diethanola- mine (DEA)–poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) solutions by the spin-(SC) and dip-coating (DC) technique on SiO₂ and Si substrates. The maximum film thickness achieved without crack formation has been increased by incorporation of PVP (relative molecular weights 40000 and 360000) into the precursor solution. The stability of the precursor solutions was remarkably increased by addition of DEA. Compact, dense, and crack-free Fe₂O₃ films with thicknesses 900 nm (DC), 450 nm (SC), have been obtained via single-step deposition cycle. Higher-molecular-weight PVP has been more effective in increasing the thickness. The minimum concentration of DEA, which results in pronounced increase of solutions stability, is about R _P (n(DEA)/n(Fe) = 0.1). The high content of carboneous residue in the pyrolysed Fe₂O₃ films promotes the formation of Fe₃O₄ films via reduction in a gas flow of H₂/N₂ gas mixture. Microstructure, surface morphology, and magnetic properties of the films have been also investigated using SEM, AFM, and SQUID, respectively.     

Magnetically tunable transparency for magnetorheological elastomer films consisting of polydimethylsiloxane and Fe3O4 nanoparticles

In this research, we demonstrate magnetically tunable transmittance for the magnetorheological elastomer films comprised of polydimethylsiloxane and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. The films bearing anisotropic and isotropic microtexture were prepared with and without magnetic field, respectively. The usage of toluene as diluent during the film preparation process leads to the increased tunable range of the magnetically induced transparency in comparison with our previous results. For the anisotropic film containing 1 wt% Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, an increase of 23.01% in film transparency was observed at the wavelength of 600 nm with a magnetic field of B = ~ 80 mT applied, which is 2.67 times greater than the maximum change achieved in our previous research. The variation in transparency caused by the external magnetic field has been tentatively assigned to magnetostrictive effect. And the film microtexture might have a great influence upon the way an external magnetic field alters film transmittance.     

Synthesis of perpendicular nanorod arrays with hierarchical architecture and water slipping superhydrophobic properties

The utilization of vertically aligned smooth gold nanorod arrays with and without nanoporous tip architectures as superhydrophobic surfaces is described. Nanoporous architecture was produced on the tips of nanorods by selectively dissolving less noble components from the alloy nanorods. The resulting nanoscopic dual-size roughness features enhanced the surface dewettability after surface modification with low-surface-energy materials such as long-chain normal alkanethiols and fluorinated organic compounds. The surface cleaning properties were also tested with a rolling water droplet.

Photoelectrochemical properties of Fe2O3-Nb2O5 films prepared by sol-gel method

Fe2O3-Nb2O5 coating films of various Nb/(Fe + Nb) mole ratios were prepared on nesa silica glass substrates from Fe(NO3)3.9H2O - NbCl5 - CH3(CH2)2CH2OH - CH3COOH solutions by the sol-gel method. The photoanodic properties were studied in a three-electrode cell with an aqueous buffer solution of pH = 7 as the supporting electrolyte. The crystalline phases identified were alpha-Fe2O3 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0), alpha-Fe2O3 + FeNbO4 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.25), FeNbO4 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.5), FeNbO4 + Nb2O5 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.75), and Nb2O5 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 1). When the Nb/(Fe + Nb) mole ratio increased from 0 to 0.25, the crystalline phases changed from alpha-Fe2O3 to alpha-Fe2O3 + FeNbO4, the photoanodic current under white light illumination increased, and the photoanodic current under monochromatized light illumination increased in both visible and ultraviolet regions. When the Nb/(Fe + Nb) ratio increased over 0.25, the crystalline phases changed to FeNbO4, FeNbO4 + Nb2O5, or Nb2O5, and the photoanodic current decreased. The sample consisting of alpha-Fe2O3 and FeNbO4 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.25) exhibited photoresponse extending to 600 nm and an IPCE of 18% at a wavelength of 325 nm.
