Journal ArticleDOI
Bioinspired self-repairing slippery surfaces with pressure-stable omniphobicity
Tak Sing Wong,Sung Hoon Kang,Sindy K. Y. Tang,Elizabeth Smythe,Benjamin Hatton,Alison Grinthal,Joanna Aizenberg +6 more
TL;DR: A strategy to create self-healing, slippery liquid-infused porous surface(s) (SLIPS) with exceptional liquid- and ice-repellency, pressure stability and enhanced optical transparency, applicable to various inexpensive, low-surface-energy structured materials (such as porous Teflon membrane).
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of ice-free nanostructured surfaces based on repulsion of impacting water droplets.
Lidiya Mishchenko,Benjamin Hatton,Vaibhav Bahadur,J. Ashley Taylor,Tom Krupenkin,Joanna Aizenberg +5 more
TL;DR: Factors contributing to droplet retraction, pinning and freezing are addressed by combining classical nucleation theory with heat transfer and wetting dynamics, forming the foundation for the development of rationally designed ice-preventive materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bioinspired omniphobic surface coating on medical devices prevents thrombosis and biofouling

Rifai,Anne Hansen,Michael Aizenberg,Michael Super,Michael Super,Michael Super,Joanna Aizenberg,Donald E. Ingber +30 more
TL;DR: A bioinspired, omniphobic coating is applied to tubing and catheters and it is shown that it completely repels blood and suppresses biofilm formation, which could reduce the use of anticoagulants in patients and help to prevent thrombotic occlusion and biofouling of medical devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assembly of large-area, highly ordered, crack-free inverse opal films
TL;DR: It is shown that colloidal coassembly is available for a range of organometallic sol-gel and polymer matrix precursors, and represents a simple, low-cost, scalable method for generating high-quality, chemically tailorable inverse opal films for a variety of applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Past, Present, and Future of Periodic Mesoporous OrganosilicasThe PMOs
TL;DR: Periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) represent an exciting new class of organic−inorganic nanocomposites targeted for a broad range of applications such as catalysis and sensing, separations, and microelectronics.
