Lubricant Infused Surfaces without Hydrophobic Coatings
Invention type: Technology
/
Case number: #19978
Lubricant infused surfaces (LIS) can be uncoated high-surface-energy solids, thereby eliminating the need for unreliable low-surface-energy coatings and resulting in LIS repelling the lowest surface tension impinging fluid (butane, γ≈13 mN/m) reported to date.
