02.12.2021 Ionogel-like omniphobic coatings Back Tools Bookmark Share Designing omniphobic surfaces are attracting growing interest due to their broad impact on different applications. In particular, surfaces exhibiting good slippery properties lead to non-stick surfaces. Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) technology was proposed by Aizenberg's group to provide omniphobic surfaces by infiltrating textured materials with a lubricant. However, their multiphase nature and the low affinity between the lubricating film and the surface may result in lubricant depletion, causing a low durability. In this talk, a new generation of omniphobic surfaces, ionogel-like coatings, overcoming some of the SLIPS limitations will be presented. In particular, the deposition of ionogel coatings based on a cross-linked polymer -containing low surface energy materials covalently grafted to the substrate- swollen in a fluorinated ionic-liquid will be described. The combination of moderate contact angles and slippery properties to reach superior fluid repellence will be discussed; highlighting their potential to mitigate the insect residue contamination on aircrafts.
