Summary: In this study, a series of slippery liquid-infused microstructure surfaces (SLIMS) with uniform texture were fabricated on T2 copper substrates using laser texturing technique. The results showed that droplet directional self-transport behavior can be achieved on these surfaces. Different from previous studies, the droplet self-transport property on SLIMS with rice-leaf-like anisotropic grooves was particularly investigated. The variation of droplet transport distance was found to be determined by the synergistic effect of adhesive force in different directions.

Summary: Inspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant and the gradient structure of cactus spine, the slippery liquid-infused microstructure surfaces (SLIMS) can achieve droplet self-transport without external energy input. However, the self-transport distance of SLIMS with uniformly rough structure is limited by the wedge angle and droplet volume. By processing different structures on the surface, the transport distance can be controlled. The directional wettability of the V-shaped prism microarray (VPM) surface allows for control of self-transport distance in the case of fixed liquid volume and wedge angle.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
