Electrodeposited TO films on a variety of surface geometries and steel grades
The surface coating, made from rough nanoporous tungsten oxide, is the most durable anti-fouling and anti-corrosive material to date, capable of repelling any kind of liquid even after sustaining intense structural abuse.
Aizenberg’s team developed Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces in 2011 and has demonstrated a broad range of applications for the super-slick coating, SLIPS. “Our slippery steel is orders of magnitude more durable than any anti-fouling material that has been developed before,” said Aizenberg. “So far, these 2 concepts – mechanical durability and anti-fouling – were at odds with each other...
