Double Immobilized Superhydrophobic and Lubricated Slippery Surface with Antibacterial and Antifouling Properties

A "double immobilized" superhydrophobic and lubricated slippery surface was prepared by simultaneously immobilizing lubricating oil and bactericide molecules. The coordination function of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) was utilized to immobilize trimesic acid, a fungicide, as a ligand of the MOF by the cathodic electrodeposition technique. Aminated silicone oil was used as a lubricating oil and was immobilized to the superhydrophobic MOF film by the curing reaction with isocyanates. This technique is a facile strategy to conductive substrates for fabricating superhydrophobic and lubricated slippery surfaces with satisfactory antibacterial and antifouling properties.
