Contact Angle01:13

Contact Angle

18.0K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Archaeal surface appendages are highly specialized structures essential for environmental adaptation, encompassing roles in adhesion, biofilm formation, and motility. Among these appendages, pili and archaella stand out for their distinct morphologies and functionalities, enabling archaea to thrive in diverse and often extreme environments.Pili: Adhesion and Biofilm FormationPili are filamentous structures assembled from pilin protein subunits, primarily contributing to adhesion and biofilm...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optics and Photonics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Conventional metasurfaces are susceptible to environmental degradation, limiting their practical applications.
  • Challenges include vulnerability to scratches, contamination, and extreme temperatures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer an exceptionally robust armored metasurface with enhanced environmental resilience.
  • To maintain stable optical performance under adverse conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized nanoscale interfacial manipulation based on Persson's model for metasurface engineering.
  • Characterized dust repellency, superhydrophobicity, high-temperature tolerance, and anti-scratch resilience.
  • Evaluated broadband antireflection and phase control stability under turbulent atmospheric conditions.

Main Results:

  • Achieved 94.7% dust repellency and a 156.3° water contact angle.
  • Demonstrated high-temperature tolerance (>1000 °C) and anti-scratch resilience (200 cycles).
  • Obtained 99.1% transmission for broadband antireflection and stable phase control (<5% fluctuation) under turbulence (Cn² ≥ 2.1 × 10⁻¹²).

Conclusions:

  • The armored metasurface offers exceptional robustness and durability for optical applications.
  • Enables reliable spatiotemporal vector light manipulation in atmospheric optical systems.
  • Paves the way for applications in adverse-weather LiDAR, aerospace optics, and durable photonic wearables.
