“…Nickel plated TMV1cys gold, copper, aluminum and stainless steel surfaces show increased heat transfer coefficients up to 200% while showing no physical degradation of the PVN coated surface after a 24 h boiling exposure (Rahman et al, 2014). Heat transfer represents an important aspect in many industrial applications such as water purification and energy generation.…”

Bottom-up self-assembly methods in which individual molecular components self-organize to form functional nanoscale patterns are of long-standing interest in the field of materials sciences. Such self-assembly processes are the hallmark of biology where complex macromolecules with defined functions assemble from smaller molecular components. In particular, plant virus-derived nanoparticles (PVNs) have drawn considerable attention for their unique self-assembly architectures and functionalities that can be harnessed to produce new materials for industrial and biomedical applications. In particular, PVNs provide simple systems to model and assemble nanoscale particles of uniform size and shape that can be modified through molecularly defined chemical and genetic alterations. Furthermore, PVNs bring the added potential to "farm" such bio-nanomaterials on an industrial scale, providing a renewable and environmentally sustainable means for the production of nano-materials. This review outlines the fabrication and application of several PVNs for a range of uses that include energy storage, catalysis, and threat detection.

“…Our analysis of enhanced droplet spreading on nanostructured surfaces also connects to the heat transfer issues associated with pool boiling CHF conditions. In a recent experimental study, Rahman et al [6] presented results indicating that enhancement of pool boiling CHF on heated micro-and nanoporous surfaces correlates with the magnitude of a wickability parameter. The study done by Rahman et al [6] relates wickability to a volume flux, _ V 00 0 , which is experimentally determined in their study wherein they initiated deposition of water onto a hydrophilic microstructured surface from a tube by raising a surface until it contacted a pendent liquid at the bottom of the tube.…”

“…Numerous recent investigations have examined the use of nanostructured surfaces to enhance features of water boiling or liquid water evaporation processes. Since prior research has shown that increasing surface wetting by the liquid generally improves boiling performance, it is not surprising that use of nanostructured hydrophilic surfaces has frequently been proposed as a means of enhancing nucleate boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux (CHF) for pool boiling [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], suppressing wall dryout in flow boiling [17], and enhancing droplet spread and evaporation heat transfer in water spray cooling [18,19]. The use of superhydrophilic nanostructured surfaces would appear to offer the promise that substantial enhancement of water pool boiling and liquid evaporation processes, since superhydrophilic surface structures of this type have been found to exhibit rapid spreading of liquid over an initially dry surface [7,8,18].…”

Spraying water droplets on air fin surfaces is often used to augment the performance of air-cooled Rankine power plant condensers and wet cooling tower heat exchangers for building air-conditioning systems. To get the best performance in such processes, the water droplets delivered to the surface should spread rapidly into an extensive, thin film and evaporate with no liquid leaving the surface due to recoil or splashing. This paper presents predictions of theoretical/computational modeling and results of experimental studies of droplet spreading on thin-layer, nanostructured, superhydrophilic surfaces that exhibit very high wicking rates (wickability) in the porous layer. Analysis of the experimental data in the model framework illuminates the key aspects of the physics of the droplet-spreading process and evaporation heat transfer. This analysis also predicts the dependence of droplet-spreading characteristics on the nanoporous surface morphology and other system parameters. The combined results of this investigation indicate specific key strategies for design and fabrication of surface coatings that will maximize the heat transfer performance for droplet evaporation on heat exchanger surfaces. The implications regarding wickability effects on pool boiling processes are also discussed.

Virus particles and proteins are excellent examples of naturally occurring structures with well-defined nanoscale architectures, for example, cages and tubes. These structures can be employed in a bottom-up assembly strategy to fabricate repetitive patterns of hybrid organic–inorganic materials. In this paper, we review methods of assembly that make use of protein and virus scaffolds to fabricate patterned nanostructures with very high spatial control. We chose (apo)ferritin and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as model examples that have already been applied successfully in nanobiotechnology. Their interior space and their exterior surfaces can be mineralized with inorganic layers or nanoparticles. Furthermore, their native assembly abilities can be exploited to generate periodic architectures for integration in electrical and magnetic devices. We introduce the state of the art and describe recent advances in biomineralization techniques, patterning and device production with (apo)ferritin and TMV.
