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 translation: 本文所述的实施方案一般涉及用于制备用于抑制蒸汽或气体成核的液体浸渍表面的装置，系统和方法。 在一些实施例中，具有液体浸渍表面的设备包括具有第一滚动离开角的第一表面。 多个固体特征被布置在第一表面上，使得在固体特征之间限定间隙区域。 浸渍液体设置在间隙区域中，其尺寸和结构被保持浸渍浸渍液体。 设置在间隙区域中的浸渍液体至少部分地限定具有小于第一滚降偏离角的第二滚降偏角的第二表面。 此外，与第一表面相比，第二表面在包括溶解在其中的气体的接触液体中形成气泡的成核位置基本较少，并且设置在第二表面上。
