Patent number: 11203695Abstract: Durable superhydrophobic components have a superhydrophobic material disposed (e.g., disposed) thereon that exhibits an apparent advancing dynamic contact angle of ?about 150° and a roll-off angle of about ?15° for water after at least 100 abrasion cycles. The superhydrophobic material may comprise a low surface energy material and a polymeric material. The superhydrophobic material may be self-healing and capable of recovering its wettability after damage. In yet other aspects, a component comprises a surface that is superhydrophobic and reduces drag in turbulent flow conditions. The surface has an apparent advancing dynamic contact angle of ?about 150° and a roll-off angle of ?about 15° for water, and a product of dimensionless roughness (k+) and a higher-pressure contact angle hysteresis of less than or equal to about 5.8. Methods of making such materials are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignees: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, The Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Anish Tuteja, Kevin Golovin, James W.

Patent number: 9790377Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane. The method for manufacture includes opening a single edge of a closed-cage F-POSS and bridging the opened, single edge with a sulfate group. The sulfate group is converted to a disilanol, which is then reacted with a functional dichlorosilane having an organic functional group comprising at least three carbon atoms.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Timothy S.

Patent number: 9777161Abstract: Treated, mesoporous aggregates comprising a plurality of coated particles that comprise an inorganic oxide core having a surface area of about 50 to about 500 square meters per gram and a shell or coating consisting of an array of fluoroalkyl molecular chains covalently bonded to the core at a density of at least one chain per square nanometer. The aggregates are formed by the chemical attachment of fluoroalkyl-alkylsilanes after exposure to an alkylamine and followed by an extraction to remove any unbound organic material. The dense packing of molecular chains in the fluoroalkyl shell combined with a mesoporous structure imparts a very low surface energy, a very high specific surface area, and surface texture over a wide range of length scales. Such features are highly desirable for the creation of, for example, superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces, separation media, and release films.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Raymond Campos, Andrew Guenthner, Timothy Haddad, Joseph M.
