Summary: Hydrophobic mesoporous silica was developed through the surface grafting of the perfluoroalkyl group using fluorinated organosilane. The structure of the fluorinated MS remained unchanged, but the specific surface area and pore size decreased. With increasing fluorosilane content, the MS samples transitioned from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic surfaces. The fluorinated MS showed high separation efficiency and stability in oil-water mixtures and water-in-oil emulsions.

Summary: Supercooled droplet freezing on surfaces is a common phenomenon in nature and industry, but little is known about its effect on droplet-substrate interactions and the design of icephobic surfaces. This study investigates freezing of supercooled droplets on textured surfaces and identifies surface properties that promote ice expulsion. The study also explores mechanisms through which repellency falters and provides insights into the phenomenology of ice adhesion throughout freezing. The findings contribute to the design of icephobic surfaces for increased safety and sustainability in engineering applications.

Summary: The synthesis of methylacrolein (MAL) from formaldehyde and propanal via Mannich reaction attracts attention as petroleum resources gradually deplete. In this study, a series of morpholine/acid catalysts with different acid types and molar ratios were prepared to catalyze the propanal-formaldehyde reactions for MAL production. The catalytic performance was influenced by the morpholine/acid ratio, acid type, and initial pH value, while the addition sequence of reactants and formaldehyde source affected the yield and selectivity of MAL. The optimal catalysis condition achieved a 99.8% conversion of propanal and an 89.7% yield of MAL using morpholine/acetic acid with a molar ratio of 1/3 under weak acidic conditions (pH = 5.30) at 50 degrees C. Protonation of morpholine effectively inhibited catalyst deactivation and promoted MAL production, but both basic and strong acidic environments suppressed MAL formation. Kinetic studies showed that MAL formation was first-order dependent on the concentrations of propanal and formaldehyde, with an activation barrier of 30.1 kJ/mol. Unfortunately, the optimal catalyst gradually deactivated due to side reactions of morpholine with formaldehyde, propanal, and MAL.

Summary: Silicone nanoparticles were deposited onto melamine sponge and modified with polypyrrole and Au nanoparticles to fabricate highly saltresistant solar evaporators for stable long-term desalination and water harvesting. These solar evaporators have a superhydrophilic hull for water transport and solar desalination, and a superhydrophobic nucleus for reducing heat loss. They achieved spontaneous rapid salt exchange and reduction in salt concentration gradient due to ultrafast water transport and replenishment in the superhydrophilic hull with a hierachical micro-/nanostructure, effectively preventing salt deposition during interfacial solar-driven evaporation (ISE). These solar evaporators demonstrated long-term stable evaporation performance and the ability to collect fresh water without any salt precipitation.

Summary: The adhesion of liquid foods on their packaging materials has become a major concern due to the significant waste and pollution it causes. Food grade superhydrophobic coatings offer a promising solution, although their application has been limited by low mechanical stability and complex preparation methods. In this study, a food grade superhydrophobic coating was developed using edible paraffin wax, polydimethylsiloxane-modified attapulgite natural nanorods, and a food grade silicone adhesive. The coating exhibited good static and dynamic superhydrophobicity, as well as excellent mechanical and chemical stability. It also showed repellency towards various liquid foods, including hot ones, and could be applied to a wide range of food packaging materials. Therefore, the superhydrophobic coatings have great potential for anti-adhesion of liquid foods in the food packing industry.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
