  • Publication number: 20190351601
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of producing a liquid-impregnated surface includes forming a solid particle suspension including a plurality of solid particles with an average dimension of between about 5 nm and about 200 ?m. The solid particle suspension is applied to a surface by spray-depositing the solid particle suspension onto the surface. An impregnating liquid is also applied to the surface. The plurality of solid particles and the impregnating liquid collectively form a liquid-impregnated surface. The impregnating liquid can be applied after the solid particle suspension is applied, or the solid particle suspension can include the impregnating liquid, such that the solid particle suspension and the impregnating liquid are concurrently spray-deposited onto the surface.

  • Publication number: 20140314991
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to devices, systems and methods for producing liquid-impregnated surfaces for the inhibition of vapor or gas nucleation. In some embodiments, an apparatus having a liquid-impregnated surface includes a first surface having a first roll off angle. A plurality of solid features are disposed on the first surface such that interstitial regions are defined between the solid features. An impregnating liquid is disposed in the interstitial regions which are dimensioned and configured to remain impregnated by the impregnating liquid. The impregnating liquid disposed in the interstitial regions at least partially defines a second surface having a second roll off angle less than the first roll off angle. Furthermore, the second surface has substantially less nucleation sites for formation of bubbles in a contact liquid that includes a gas dissolved therein and is disposed on the second surface, as compared to the first surface.
