Summary: This study compares the structure of HMDSO and HMDSN plasma polymer thin films before and after plasma oxidation, focusing on porosity and electrolyte up-take in the films. The results show that plasma oxidation converts the films into SiOx-like films, but the etching of CxHy groups and condensation of Si-OH groups leads to highly porous films. The differences in chemical structure and nanoporosity are correlated with electrolyte up-take in the open pores.

Summary: This study investigates the surface properties of methyl-terminated organosilica films modified by atmospheric-pressure water vapor plasma. Plasma modification leads to an immediate decrease in water contact angle, as methyl groups are oxidized to form oxygen-containing groups. The films show a moderate hydrophobic recovery after certain treatment. The changes in surface hydrophilicity during long-term storage are attributed to the rotation of Si-OH.

Summary: This study focuses on the storage duration, surface quality, and adhesion behavior of sol-gel thin films on optical glasses. The results show that storage duration affects the optical properties and surface roughness of the optical glasses, which in turn influence the adhesion of thin films. The surface roughness plays a significant role in the adhesion of thin films, where sol-gel prepared with 20% TEOS exhibits the highest adhesion when the surface roughness is low.

Summary: Reactive bottlebrush polymers based on S and tBA were developed as additives for PS coatings. The hydrophilicity and substrate adherence of PS films can be controlled by the thermal activation of tBA deprotection. By incorporating a mixture of PtBA and PS side chains into the bottlebrush, the water contact angle decreases and the substrate adherence improves proportionally.

Summary: The food industry in Europe is characterized by a demand for a wide variety of products and frequent changes in food packaging formats. This study examines the surface wettability of 3D-printed PolyEthylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) parts and analyzes the impact of various printing parameters on their hydrophobicity. The experimental results show that flow has the strongest influence on the wettability of the printed parts, and low-flow values result in ultra-hydrophobic surfaces. Additionally, 3D-printed PETG parts with high-contact angle surfaces exhibit lower adhesion to ice.

Summary: Icephobic surfaces, inspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant, have become an effective solution to protect infrastructures in harsh cold-weather environments. In this study, liquid-infused textured surfaces (LITS) were developed and assessed for their anti-icing properties. The results showed that the heat insulation effect of the lubricant in LITS significantly reduced the ice nucleation temperature and resulted in a much lower ice adhesion strength compared to non-oil surfaces. Additionally, the surficial microtextures played a critical role in reducing oil depletion. These findings suggest that the designed lubricant-infused surfaces have more durable and stable anti-icing characteristics than smooth lubricant-infused surfaces.

Summary: The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of precipitated nano-silica on the mechanical properties and icephobicity of HT-PDMS and explore the correlation between mechanical characteristics and icephobicity of the nanocomposites. An icephobic coating based on HT-PDMS elastomer was designed using the sol-gel method to enhance mechanical properties and durability. The amount of precipitated nano-silica in HT-PDMS hybrid coatings was controlled by using different ratios of TEOS and pre-hydrolyzed TEOS as silica precursors. It was found that utilizing pre-hydrolyzed TEOS improved the coating's thermal stability and mechanical properties.

Summary: In cold climate conditions, insulators are affected by ice accretion and other outdoor factors, compromising their electrical performance. Slippery liquid-infused coatings have shown promise in icephobic applications, but lubricant depletion limits their effectiveness. A new approach using lubricant-loaded carrier powders and hydroxyl-terminated silicone oil carriers was developed to create long-lasting icephobic coatings that reduce ice accumulation. These coatings also exhibited stability against UV exposure and humidity. Electrical characterization tests demonstrated improved flashover voltage and reduced leakage currents for coatings containing lubricant-loaded carriers in various conditions.

Summary: Routine disinfection and sanitization, although necessary in managing the COVID-19 pandemic, can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant microbes and increased viral mutations. Antiviral surface coatings offer an alternative to traditional disinfectants by remaining antimicrobial during periods of active cleaning. However, inconsistencies exist in the literature regarding these surfaces. This paper provides tools for the design and development of antimicrobial and antiviral surfaces and coatings, covering testing options, potential materials, and addressing limitations such as toxicity, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental concerns. It also highlights the importance of material selection based on specific use and discusses the benefits of coatings combining multiple antimicrobial mechanisms.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
