Title: Lubricant-infused micro/nano-structured surfaces with tunable dynamic omniphobicity at high temperatures

Abstract

Omniphobic surfaces that can repel fluids at temperatures higher than 100 °C are rare. Most state-of- the-art liquid-repellent materials are based on the lotus effect, where a thin air layer is maintained throughout micro/nanotextures leading to high mobility of liquids. However, such behavior eventually fails at elevated temperatures when the surface tension of test liquids decreases significantly. Here, we demonstrate a class of lubricant-infused structured surfaces that can maintain a robust omniphobic state even for low-surface-tension liquids at temperatures up to at least 200 °C. We also demonstrate how liquid mobility on such surfaces can be tuned by a factor of 1000.
