SPRAY PROCESSES AND METHODS FOR FORMING LIQUID-IMPREGNATED SURFACES

摘要

In some embodiments, a method of producing a liquid-impregnated surface includes forming a solid particle solution including a plurality of solid particles with an average dimension of between about 5nm and about 200µm. The solid particle solution is applied to a surface by spray-depositing the solid particle solution onto the surface. An impregnating liquid is also applied to the surface. The plurality of solid particles and the impregnating liquid collectively form a liquid-impregnated surface. The impregnating liquid can be applied after the solid particle solution is applied, or the solid particle solution can include the impregnating liquid, such that the solid particle solution and the impregnating liquid are concurrently spray-deposited onto the surface.
