Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to devices, systems and methods for producing liquid-impregnated surfaces for the inhibition of vapor or gas nucleation. In some embodiments, an apparatus having a liquid-impregnated surface includes a first surface having a first roll off angle. A plurality of solid features are disposed on the first surface such that interstitial regions are defined between the solid features. An impregnating liquid is disposed in the interstitial regions which are dimensioned and configured to remain impregnated by the impregnating liquid. The impregnating liquid disposed in the interstitial regions at least partially defines a second surface having a second roll off angle less than the first roll off angle. Furthermore, the second surface has substantially less nucleation sites for formation of bubbles in a contact liquid that includes a gas dissolved therein and is disposed on the second surface, as compared to the first surface.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to devices, systems and methods for producing liquid impregnated surfaces with enhanced durability. In some embodiments, a liquid-impregnated surface includes a first surface having a first roll off angle. A plurality of solid features are disposed on the first surface, such that a plurality of interstitial regions are defined between the plurality of solid features. An impregnating liquid is disposed in the interstitial regions. Furthermore, the interstitial regions are dimension and configured such that that the surface remains impregnated by the impregnating liquid. The impregnating liquid disposed in the interstitial regions defines a second surface which has a second roll off angle less than the first roll off angle. The apparatus also includes a liquid delivery mechanism configured to transfer the impregnating liquid to the interstitial regions.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to a system and methods for controlling and/or modifying the degradation behavior of degradable materials via a surface treatment and/or coating. This surface treatment and/or coating (also referred to herein as a “barrier”) can be used to modify the degradation profile without changing the bulk of the degradable material. The system includes a substrate that includes a degradable material and barrier configured to protect the substrate from a foreign environment. The barrier can include a conformal coating and/or a liquid impregnated surface engineered specifically to tailor the degradation profile of the underlying substrate. Optionally, a trigger mechanism can be used to further control and/or modify the degradation behavior of the substrate.
