Self-adaptive hydrophilic and coordinating Teflon surfaces through a straightforward physisorption process.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Teflon surfaces exhibiting self-adaptive behaviour with both highly hydrophilic character and strong coordinating properties are prepared in a straightforward manner by physisorption of the fluorophilic copper(II)-carboxylate complex 2.

Flexible Teflon nanocone array surfaces with tunable superhydrophobicity for self-cleaning and aqueous droplet patterning.
Tunable hydrophobic/hydrophilic flexible Teflon nanocone array surfaces were fabricated over large areas (cm(2)) by a simple two-step method involving the oxygen plasma etching of a colloidal monolayer of polystyrene beads on a Teflon film. The wettability of the nanocone array surfaces was controlled by the nanocone array dimensions and various additional surface modifications. The resultant T...
متن کاملAll solids, including teflon, are hydrophilic (to some extent), but some have roughness induced hydrophobic tendencies.
It has recently been argued on the basis of four experiments that Teflon can often be regarded as hydrophilic when considering the interaction between liquid water and the solid surface of Teflon [Gao and McCarthy, Langmuir 2008, 24, 9183-9188]. The authors also recommend that more recognition be given to "hydrophilic" and "hydrophobic" as qualitative adjectives and discuss the importance of ad...
متن کاملPreparation and electrowetting transitions on superhydrophobic/ hydrophilic bi-layer structures
A simple method of preparing porous superhydrophobic materials using glass fiber materials, where hydrophobicity is provided by a variety of coatings such as self-assembled alkyl-silane monolayers and fluoropolymers such as Teflon is presented. Fibrous structures of the filter material provide for the modulation of ‘‘surface roughness’’ on the microand nano-scale, required for achieving a super...
متن کاملHydrophobic Metallic Nanorods coated with Teflon Nanopatches by Glancing Angle Deposition
Introducing a hydrophobic property to vertically aligned hydrophilic metallic nanorods was investigated experimentally and theoretically. First, platinum nanorod arrays were deposited on flat silicon substrates using a sputter Glancing Angle Deposition Technique (GLAD). Then a thin layer of Teflon (nanopatches) was partially deposited on the tips of platinum nanorod at a glancing angle of θ = 8...
متن کاملCoating with genetic engineered hydrophobin promotes growth of fibroblasts on a hydrophobic solid.
Class I Hydrophobins self-assemble at hydrophilic-hydrophobic interfaces into a highly insoluble amphipathic film. Upon self-assembly of these fungal proteins hydrophobic solids turn hydrophilic, while hydrophilic materials can be made hydrophobic. Hydrophobins thus change the nature of a surface. This property makes them interesting candidates to improve physio- and physico-chemical properties...
