“…Currently, extensive attention has focused on superhydrophobic surfaces that play a significant role in various applications related to energy, resources and environment, including self-cleaning, anti-fogging, anti-corrosion, anti-icing, anti-bacteria and drag reduction [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Superhydrophobic surface is generally defined as a solid surface with water contact angle (WCA) exceeding 150° and rolling angle (RA) below 10° [18,35].…”

Topographic and wetting properties of Inconel 718 (IN718) surfaces were modified via nanosecond laser treatment. In order to investigate surface wetting behavior without additional post treatment, three kinds of microstructures were created on IN718 surfaces, including line pattern, grid pattern and spot pattern. From the viewpoint of surface morphology, the results show that laser ablated grooves and debris significantly altered the surface topography as well as surface roughness compared with the nontreated surfaces. The effect of laser parameters (such as laser scanning speed and laser average power) on surface features was also discussed. We have observed the treated surface of IN718 showed very high hydrophilicity just after laser treatment under ambient air condistion.And this hydrophicility property has changed rapidly to the other extreme; very high hydrophobicity over just about 20 days. Further experiments and analyses have been carried out in order to investigate this phenomena. Based on the XPS analysis, the results indicate that the change of wetting property from hydrophilic to hydrophobic over time is due to the surface chemistry modifications, especially carbon content. After the contact angles reached steady state, the maximum water contact angle (WCA) for line-patterned and grid-patterned surfaces increased to 152.3  1.2° and 156.8  1.1° with the corresponding rolling angle (RA) of 8.8  1.1° and 6.5  0.8°, respectively. These treated IN718 surfaces exhibited superhydrophobic property. However, the maximum WCA for the spot-patterned surfaces just increased to 140.8  2.8° with RA above 10°. Therefore, it is deduced that laser-inscribed modification of surface wettability has high sensitivity to surface morphology and surface chemical compositions. This work can be utilized to optimize the laser processing parameters so as to fabricate desired IN718 surfaces with hydrophobic or even superhydrophobic property and thus extend the applications of IN718 material in various fields.

“…It is important to note that coatings designed to prevent wax deposition must withstand the harsh conditions inside of a petroleum pipeline, including severe abrasion, high temperature, high fluid shear stresses, and avoid chemical reactions with a myriad of organic compounds such as crude oil, resins, asphaltenes, waxes, scales, fines and water. Laboratory experimental designs in this case typically do not consistently mimic the technical complexities associated with on-site field application [170].…”

In this review, we present a framework to guide the design of surfaces which are resistant to solid fouling, based on the modulus and length scale of the fouling material. Solid fouling is defined as the undesired attachment of solid contaminants including ice, clathrates, waxes, inorganic scale, polymers, proteins, dust and biological materials. We first provide an overview of the surface design approaches typically applied across the scope of solid fouling and explain how these disparate research efforts can be united to an extent under a single framework. We discuss how the elastic modulus and the operating length scale of a foulant determine its ability or inability to elastically deform surfaces. When surface deformation occurs, minimization of the substrate elastic modulus is critical for the facile de-bonding of a solid contaminant. Foulants with low modulus or small deposition sizes cannot deform an elastic bulk material and instead de-bond more readily from surfaces with chemistries that minimize their interfacial free energy or induce a particular repellant interaction with the foulant. Overall, we review reported surface design strategies for the reduction in solid fouling, and provide perspective regarding how our framework, together with the modulus and length scale of a foulant, can guide future antifouling surface designs. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Bioinspired materials and surfaces for green science and technology’.

The design and fabrication of interfacial materials for anti-icing is of great importance, since undesired ice accumulation leads to serious economic, energy, and safety issues. Substantial progress on interfacial materials for the passive removal of ice has been achieved in the past three years. The present focus review critically summarizes and analyzes recent breakthroughs in interfacial materials for anti-icing. In particular, we focus on the effect of surface textures on the timely removal of water droplets, the microscopic mechanism of ice formation, and the effect of an interfacial layer's properties on easy shedding of formed ice with a view towards designing high-performance and durable interfacial materials for anti-icing beyond superhydrophobic materials.
