  • Publication number: 20160153114
    Abstract: The invention provides an electrochemical treatment based surface modification device that comprises a solution tank, a cathode terminal, and an anode terminal. The solution tank is filled with an acidic solution which contains first valence metal ions. The first valence metal ions are partially reduced to second valence metal ions at the cathode terminal. The valence of the first valence metal ion is greater than that of the second valence metal ion. The anode terminal is provided an electrically conductive oxide, and the second valence metal ions move from the cathode terminal to the anode terminal to from a metal oxide. Wherein, the deposition and etching of the conductive oxide occur simultaneously on the surface of the anode.

  • Publication number: 20080206545
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a porous structure material, which is synthesized by mixing an alkyl siloxane compound or a silicate compound with an organic solvent through a sol-gel process, and modified by modification agents. The present invention is also related to a method for manufacturing porous structure material, which comprises reacting an alkyl siloxane compound or a silicate compound with an organic solvent through sol-gel process. The present invention utilizes modification agents to modify hydrophilic groups into hydrophobic groups on the surface of the porous structure material, thereby to lower the surface tension and maintain the porous structure. The porous structure material of the present invention has properties of low conductive coefficient, high porosity, high hydrophobicity and self-cleaning.
