Abstract

Artificial superhydrophobic surfaces are garnering constant attention due to their wide applications. However, it is a great challenge for superhydrophobic materials to simultaneously achieve good oil repellency, mechanochemical robustness, adhesion, thermomechanical properties, and multiresponsive ability. Herein, we propose a highly efficient multifluorination strategy to prepare superhydrophobic nanocomposites with the above features, which can be used as monoliths or coatings on various substrates. In this strategy, long-chain perfluorinated epoxy (PFEP) provides outstanding water/oil repellency, tetrafluorophenyl-based epoxy (FEP) possesses good thermodynamic compatibility with PFEP and increases the mechanical performance of the matrix, and carbon nanotubes grafted with perfluorinated segments and flexible spacers (FCNTs) tailor the surface roughness as well as impart multiple functions and ensure good binding interfaces. Notedly, all of the applications of constrained long-chain perfluorinated compounds are achieved via thiol-ene click chemistry, following the ethos of atom economy. The resultant PFEP30/FCNTs40 exhibits superhydrophobicity and oleophobicity, thermal conductivity (1.33 W·m-1·K-1), electronic conductivity ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
