Proper surface roughness (Lotus-alike structure) Wenzel eq. Cassie-Baxter eq. : contact angle on a rough surface 0: contact angle on a projected ‘smooth’ surface Surface roughnessenhances the hydrophobicity of hydrophobic surfaces Self-Cleaning Properties • Hydrophobic surface with low surface energy • water contact angle, > 90° • Low roll-off angles ------ small contact angle hysteresis
Basic theory • The force needed for a drop to move over a solid surface (F ): F ~ LV (cos R– cos A) LV is the surface tension of the liquid • Contact angle hysteresis: A–R or LV (cos R– cos A)
Fluorinated Polyurethane Films • Water contact angle: • Advancing: 120º, receding: 60-70º • Huge hysteresis: primarily due to the surface reorganization during the contact angle measurements. LEIS (low-energy ion scattering) First atomic layer, only F and C can be detected • PDMS • Hydrophobic • High MW to limit surface reorganization
Experimental • Preparation of low-surface energy films • Polyurethane as polymer matrix • Poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) will be used as a low-surface energy agent
Polymer Matrix: Solventless Liquid Oligoesters (SLO) and N3600 (cross-linker)
Polyurethane films modified with hydroxyl-terminated PDMS Approach 1 PDMS + SLO + N3600 → PU film of low Approach 2 PDMS + N3600 → partially PDMS-modified N3600 SLO + N3600 + PDMS-N3600 → low PU (To increase the miscibility between PDMS and other components)

Future plans • 1. Increase the roughness of the surface by adding some nano-particles into the film as a additive to get a super-hydrophobic surface.
Future plans • 2. Application of PDMS-modified PU films as anti-fouling coatings. • Coatings containing toxic materials • Non-toxic Systems • Fouling-release coatings based on silicones • Perform well initially • Soft, poor durability, short use life
