  • Omniphilic, omniphobic, switchable, and selective wetting surfaces
    Patent number: 11465174
    Abstract: A surface with selective wetting properties is described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2022
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Evelyn Wang, Kyle Wilke, Zhengmao Lu, Youngsup Song
  • CRITICAL HEAT FLUX (CHF) ENHANCING SURFACE TREATMENT
    Publication number: 20210057114
    Abstract: Engineered surfaces, such as surfaces having nano- and/or micro-scale features, may provide an enhanced flow boiling Critical Heat Flux (CHF) at ambient or higher pressures, which may enhance cooling. Enhancing flow boiling CHF may be desirable for nuclear reactors, where heat is generated by a heater such as a nuclear reactor core. Enhanced flow boiling CHF may provide larger safety margins and/or better economics of nuclear reactors, for example, because reactor power rating may be increased as cooling is enhanced.

  • Micro structure, micro actuators, method of fabricating micro structure and micro actuators
    Patent number: 8810881
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a micro-structure is provided, which can simply and easily fabricate the micro-structure by a batch process of directly forming a highly aligned nano-material array on a micro-structure to be used as an adhesive material during plastic deformation of the micro-structure without the use of existing complicated fabrication process.
