Superhydrophobic silane-based surface coatings on metal surface with nanoparticles hybridization to enhance anticorrosion efficiency, wearing resistance and antimicrobial ability

Past and Current Progress in the Development of Antiviral/Antimicrobial Polymer Coating towards COVID-19 Prevention: A Review

“…Furthermore, the design of a surface coating may influence surface wear resistance as part of mechanical stability. A coating with a ‘sandwich’ structure, such as the coating composed of a chemically etched aluminum alloy surface with a silicon dioxide hybridized silane layer in the middle, followed by a carbide nanosheet hybridized silane layer on the top surface, could contribute towards greater wear resistance [ 170 ]. This type of coating design was able to maintain its superhydrophobic feature after 20 cycles of abrasion testing and only slightly reduced after 30 cycles of abrasion testing, thus showing greater wear resistance.…”

“…Nevertheless, hydrophobic surface coating can also act as an antibiofouling coating that repels any microbial adhesion on the surfaces. Nie and colleagues fabricated a superhydrophobic silane-based surface coating with multiple properties such as antimicrobial and anticorrosion abilities with enhanced wear resistance [ 170 ]. A ‘sandwich’-like structure was designed and composed of a chemically etched metal surface at the bottom, a silicon dioxide nanoparticle-hybridized silane layer in the middle, and a carbide nanosheet-hybridized silane layer on the top of the surface.…”

Alumina and Zirconia-Reinforced Polyamide PA-12 Composites for Biomedical Additive Manufacturing

“…Wang pointed out that long-term wear of Co-Cr-Mo hip joint prostheses and corrosion through body fluids, and the resulting formation of tribological films, wear particles, metal ions, and corrosion products, were the primary reasons for the degradation of joint prostheses [ 14 ]. Other studies have consistently pointed out the imperfections of metal implants and the need to modify their surfaces, especially those involving carbon compounds (graphene, graphene oxide) and silane layers to reduce the negative impact on the human body [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Superhydrophobic MXene Coating with Biomimetic Structure for Self-Healing Photothermal Deicing and Photoelectric Detector

“…Billions of years of life evolution have given species on earth “magical abilities,” one of which is the lotus leaf; it is not only superhydrophobicity but can also support the use of clean light energy . Inspired by these special abilities, the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces with multifunctionality has shown more application potential and has become a tendency in surface technology. − In particular, photothermal or photoelectronic materials integrated with superhydrophobicity are promising for the design of wireless and remote-controlled self-cleaning, , anti-icing, , seawater desalinization, − actuators, and strain/pressure sensor, − and so forth. Recently, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes, novel 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides, have shown promising potential in superhydrophobic devices with multifunctionality because of their wonderful properties such as metal-like conductivity, a large specific surface area, superb thermal conductivity, and so on.…”
