Designing Robust Omnophobic Surfaces

September 12, 2012

Professor Robert E. Cohen St. Laurent Professor of Chemical Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA ABSTRACT Superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles greater than 150° and low contact angle hysteresis are becoming commonplace in the materials community. Microscopic pockets of air trapped beneath the high surface tension (γlv = 72mN/m) water droplets lead to a composite solidliquid-air interface in thermodynamic equilibrium. Previous experimental and theoretical work suggests that it should not be possible to form similar fully-equilibrated composite interfaces with drops of low surface tension liquids such as alcohols or alkanes (e.g. pentane: γlv = 16 mN/m). In this [Read more...]
