长效超疏水表面:设计策略与抗积聚

Long-lasting superhydrophobic surfaces: Design strategies and anti-accumulation

  • 摘要: 工程界面上水、冰、颗粒、腐蚀介质及生物污损等多相介质的持续积聚是诱发服役性能衰退与结构早期失效的关键诱因之一,构筑在多场耦合与长期服役条件下仍具稳定润湿调控能力的长效超疏水表面,成为解决这一难题的核心路径。本文在仿生润湿机理与Wenzel–Cassie等经典模型框架下,系统解析了化学组成、微纳结构与界面气垫协同调控下的润湿状态演化规律,归纳了机械损伤、化学/环境降解及多相污染物填充协同驱动的失效模式。在此基础上,围绕“结构–界面–功能”一体化设计,将长效超疏水表面的构筑路径统筹归纳为三类:其一,增强内聚力与界面粘附力;其二,自修复与智能响应;其三,结构强化与优化。进一步地,综述了上述长效超疏水表面在抗多相介质积聚方面的应用表现,凝练出长效超疏水研究面临的三重共性挑战。进而指出,未来的研究亟需建立统一的标准化测试体系,构建兼顾力学耐久性、润湿稳定性与功能完整性的多性能协同设计原则,推动超疏水表面从实验室原理验证迈向极端环境下的工程应用,为面向海洋工程、航空航天、能源装备和生物医疗等复杂场景的工程化长效超疏水表面提供方法论支撑与技术路径指引。

     

    Abstract: Persistent accumulation of multiphase media—including water, ice, particulates, corrosive species, and biofouling—on engineering interfaces is a primary trigger for in-service performance degradation and premature structural failure. Developing long-lasting superhydrophobic surfaces that retain robust wettability regulation under long-term service and multi-field coupled conditions has therefore emerged as a pivotal route to address this challenge. Within the framework of bioinspired wetting mechanisms and classical models (e.g., Wenzel and Cassie–Baxter), this work systematically elucidates the governing laws of wetting-state evolution arising from the synergistic interplay among surface chemistry, micro/nanostructures, and interfacial air cushions, and summarizes the dominant failure modes driven cooperatively by mechanical damage, chemical/environmental degradation, and multiphase contaminant infiltration/filling. Building on a “structure–interface–function” integrated design paradigm, we classify the construction routes of long-lasting superhydrophobic surfaces into three major strategies: (i) enhancing cohesive strength and interfacial adhesion; (ii) enabling self-healing and stimuli-responsive regulation; and (iii) structural reinforcement and optimization. We further review their application performance in mitigating multiphase accumulation and distill three overarching challenges shared across the field. Finally, we argue that future efforts should prioritize establishing standardized and unified durability testing protocols, formulating multi-objective cooperative design principles that simultaneously address mechanical robustness, wetting stability, and functional integrity, and accelerating the transition of superhydrophobic surfaces from laboratory proof-of-concept to engineering deployment in extreme environments. This review aims to provide methodological underpinnings and practical design guidance for engineering long-lasting superhydrophobic interfaces in complex scenarios such as marine engineering, aerospace, energy equipment, and biomedical applications.
