Life and death of liquid-infused surfaces: a review on the choice, analysis and fate of the infused liquid layer
Published 2020Liquid-infused surfaces (or lubricant-infused surfaces) (LIS) are a new class of functional materials introduced in 2011. Their exceptional properties have earned them a place at the forefront of many fields including ...Open AccessArticle -
Micron-sized polystyrene particles by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization in air: synthesis and mechanism
Published 2013In this study, we propose an alternative method to produce high solids, micrometer-sized polystyrene (PS) latexes with narrow size distribution, based on the use of large amounts of polymerization initiator and allowing ...Open AccessArticle -
Receding Contact Line Motion on Nanopatterned and Micropatterned Polymer Surfaces
Published 2017Surface properties such as topography and chemistry affect the motion of the three-phase contact line (solid/liquid/air), which in turn affects the contact angle of a liquid moving on a solid surface. In this work, the ...Open AccessArticle -
Depletion of the Lubricant from Lubricant-Infused Surfaces due to an Air/Water Interface
Published 8 March 20Lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) have emerged as an innovative way to combat several modern challenges such as biofouling, ice formation, and surface drag. The favorable properties of LIS are dependent on the presence and ...Open AccessArticle -
Binding and transport properties of a benzo[b]thiophene-based mono-(thio)urea library
Published 2021Using the chemical versatility of the benzo[ b ]thiophene motif, an extensive library of 24 (thio)urea receptors, with different binding properties and lipophilicities was prepared and included α,α-, α,β-, β,β-, β,γ-, α,γ-, ...Open AccessArticle
