Biomimetic self-cleaning surfaces: synthesis, mechanism and applications.
With millions of years of natural evolution, organisms have achieved sophisticated structures, patterns or textures with complex, spontaneous multifunctionality. Among all the fascinating characteristics observed in biosystems, self-cleaning ability is regarded as one of the most interesting topics in biomimicry because of its potential applications in various fields such as aerospace, energy c...
متن کاملSelf-cleaning of superhydrophobic surfaces by self-propelled jumping condensate.
The self-cleaning function of superhydrophobic surfaces is conventionally attributed to the removal of contaminating particles by impacting or rolling water droplets, which implies the action of external forces such as gravity. Here, we demonstrate a unique self-cleaning mechanism whereby the contaminated superhydrophobic surface is exposed to condensing water vapor, and the contaminants are au...
متن کاملWetting and self-cleaning properties of artificial superhydrophobic surfaces.
The wetting and the self-cleaning properties (the latter is often called the "Lotus-Effect") of three types of superhydrophobic surfaces have been investigated: silicon wafer specimens with different regular arrays of spikes hydrophobized by chemical treatment, replicates of water-repellent leaves of plants, and commercially available metal foils which were additionally hydrophobized by means o...
متن کاملPlasma Cleaning of Surfaces
Plasma cleaning of solid surfaces is one of the hot topics of the very fast developing field of plasma treatment of materials. Plasma cleaning has been implemented already in several industries such as semiconductor processing and microchip fabrication, metallurgy, the optical industry, dentistry, medical technologies, food packaging – to name just the most important areas. Understanding the ba...
متن کاملSuper-hydrophilic SiO2-doped TiO2 photocatalysts for self-cleaning applications
The self-cleaning of glasses can be realized by coating the photoinduced super-hydrophilic nanoporous thin films based on TiO2 photocatalysts via sol–gel route. In this study, a new method to enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin films direct coated on the glass was developed by doping SiO2 in the films. The effects of post-annealing and the SiO2 content of TiO2 film on the photocata...
