Novel in vitro and ex vivo models were created for studying the physical properties of the retinal surface and interfacial spreading of the ophthalmic drugs over retinas. In vitro model experiments showed that droplets of all tested drugs sank rapidly in the silicone oil to contact with the plasma-treated glass, and then rapidly spread over the glass surface. In the ex vivo model, the migration phase was followed by contact with, and rapid spread/absorption by the retinal interface. The wetting behavior of drugs under contact with the glass substrate and retinas was similar. Characteristic time scales of drugs spreading, controlled by the viscous dissipation, were close. All tested drugs migrated to the retinal surface and rapidly spread across the retinal surface. This suggests that intravitreal drugs might be used effectively in eyes filled with a silicone oil tamponade, as they rapidly migrate to, and spread over the retinal surface.","PeriodicalId":22032,"journal":{"name":"Surface Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43467135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental results show that when a drop is placed on the straight microfinned surface, the front contact line of the drop can move, while the rear contact line remains fixed. On the curved microfinned surface, however, both the front and the rear contact line can move. The drop can be self-propelled directionally from the region with larger roughness to the region with smaller roughness. The characteristics of velocity and acceleration on both surfaces are analyzed. A theoretical model is proposed by analyzing the energy conversion and compared with the experimental results.

The PVDF-HFP/PVDF film consists of micropores with nanoparticles both inside and at the surface. The micro/nanostructures enhanced the scattering of solar light, which in combination with the infrared emissivity of both PVDF-HFP and PVDF polymers makes the film show excellent radiative cooling ability with a sub-ambient temperature drop of 16°C. The micro/nanostructures roughened the surface of the film, which in combination with the low surface energy property of both PVDF-HFP and PVDF polymers endows the film with superhydrophobic self-cleaning property. The self-cleaning function defends the film from contamination and maintain sustainable radiative cooling for lasting applications. The integration of cooling and self-cleaning into a film paves a way to multifunctional and long-life radiative cooling materials.","PeriodicalId":22032,"journal":{"name":"Surface Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47529345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, Al2O3 ceramic coating was synthesized on the surface of 2D quartz fiber fabric in aqueous solution near room temperature. Surface morphology and chemical composition were studied to evaluate the quality of the coating by SEM, AFM, XPS and FT-IR. The annealing behavior at high temperature was evaluated by electronic universal testing machine after high temperature processing. Al2O3 coating could improve its annealing behavior effectively. The maximum load that the coated fabric can bear was 2.5 times as higher as that of the original fabric, proving the superior high temperature mechanical property of the coated fabric.

It is known that water condensation on graphene leads to a change in the electrical properties and affects the graphene sensor sensitivity. To date, there is no data on the effect of temperature on surface properties of graphene synthesized on copper. It is shown for the first time that a change in the crystal orientation of copper (111), (110) and (100) leads to different structuring of water on copper and on graphene layer. An increase in temperature alters the density of water distribution and the pattern of water structuring. The analysis of the influence of grain boundaries on graphene synthesis is given. A change in the size of defects is shown to alter the qualitative nature of roughness for copper and graphene. Various methods of roughness processing allow us to explain the inconsistency of existing works comparing the roughness of the metal and graphene coating. The roughness measurement serves to prove our previously proposed hypothesis about the local stratification of graphene and copper due to large surface defects. The results obtained are important for the development of graphene-based sensor technologies.","PeriodicalId":22032,"journal":{"name":"Surface Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46689579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TC4 substrate, undoped MAO sample and optimally doped MAO sample were oxidized at 650°C, 750°C and 850°C respectively. The results show that the best doped MAO samples show excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance at three temperatures. Compared with the undoped MAO sample, the maximum oxidation weight gain per unit area of the optimally doped MAO sample decreased by 10.8%, 19.6% and 22.1%, respectively. This is mainly because the thickness, hardness and adhesion of MAO coating are all increased by doping CeO2 particles, and a dense protective layer can also be formed on the surface of TC4 substrate.

However, considerable difficulties have been encountered for the preparation of robust and well-bonded carbon nitride films on conductive substrates. Herein, a combined strategy of electrophoresis and vapor deposition results in robust and high performing carbon nitride film photoelectrodes with good bonding on substrates, suitable thickness for light absorption, and enhanced charge separation and transfer abilities.
