Journal ArticleDOI
Robust self-cleaning surfaces that function when exposed to either air or oil
TL;DR: An ethanolic suspension of perfluorosilane-coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles that forms a paint that can be sprayed, dipped, or extruded onto both hard and soft materials to create a self-cleaning surface that functions even upon emersion in oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superhydrophobic polymer-coated copper-mesh; membranes for highly efficient oil–water separation
TL;DR: In this paper, a dual-layered filtration system was developed for the separation of water and hydrophobic solvents, which was shown to be exceptionally efficient in separating polyethylene, petroleum ether and toluene from water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and Characterisation of Super‐Hydrophobic Surfaces
Colin R. Crick,Ivan P. Parkin +1 more
TL;DR: The different approaches used to construct super-hydrophobic surfaces are explored and the key properties of each surface that contribute to its hydrophobicity are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation into bacterial attachment to an elastomeric superhydrophobic surface prepared via aerosol assisted deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a highly rough thin film made from a silicone elastomer via an aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) process to test the ability of bacteria (Escherichia coli and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) to adhere to this surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A physicochemical investigation of ionic liquid mixtures
Matthew T. Clough,Colin R. Crick,John Gräsvik,Patricia A. Hunt,Heiko Niedermeyer,Tom Welton,Oliver P. Whitaker +6 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive study of ionic liquid mixtures reveals a remarkable adhesion to ideal mixing laws, with some consistent exceptions.
