1. 1. Multifunctional ice and snow repellent coatings for photovoltaic modules

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

   Author : Gunnar Sandkvist; [2023]
   Keywords : sol-gel; superhydrophobic; dip-coating; anti-reflective; silica;

   Abstract : Implementation of solar power by photovoltaic modules in cold climates, such as northern Sweden, implies several challenges. Ice and snow coverage not only leads to reduction in energy production due to shading, but it also puts equipment at risk from additional weight. READ MORE

3. 2. Easy-to-clean properties in coatings for automotive applications

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Weyni Ghebreamlak; [2021]
   Keywords : Easy-to-clean surface; sol-gel; superhydrophobicity; superoleophobicity; nanoparticles; Lätt-att-rengöra yta ”Easy-to-clean” ; sol-gel; superhydrofobicitet; superoleofobicitet; nanopartiklar;

   Abstract : En ”lätt-att-rengöra” yta definieras som en yta som stöter bort vatten och smuts. I detta projekt har klarlack med olika sammansättningar studerats i syfte att introducera egenskapen ”lätt-att-rengöra”. För att uppnå denna egenskap måste beläggningen vara superhydrofob och oleofob. READ MORE

4. 3. Surface Roughening of PET Meltspun Filament through Minor Phase Removal of Blend

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Farzad Zanganeh; [2018]
   Keywords : Roughening; Phase induced morphology; PET PS blend; Hydrophobicity; Drawing; Annealing;

   Abstract : Superhydrophobic fabrics have gained a huge interest in the industries recently. New legislation pushes the industries to eliminate the use of fluorinated materials in the production of these type of fabrics. READ MORE

5. 4. Turbulent flow control via nature inspired surface modifications

   University essay from KTH/Mekanik

   Author : Miguel Beneitez; Johan Sundin; [2017]
   Keywords : flow control; DNS; lattice-Boltzmann; surface coating; friction drag; surface structures; superhydrophobic; porous; fibers; micropillars;

   Abstract : Many of the flows in nature are turbulent. To modify turbulent flows, nature serves itself with different types of coatings. Sharks have riblets-like structures on their skin, fishes have slime with polymers and the surface of the lotus flower has superhydrophobic properties. READ MORE

6. 5. Injection Molded Nanostructures Together with Hearing Instrument Materials

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Frida Falkvall; Ulrika Orstadius; [2016]
   Keywords : Nanostructures; Injection Molding; Superhydrophobic; Superhydrophilic; Capillarity; Adhesion; Polyamid; Contact Angle; Surface Energy; Oticon; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The purpose of this Master's Thesis was to gain insight to how injection molded nanostructures could be used together with hearing instrument materials. The reason to investigate this new nanotechnology was to see if it is of interest for Oticon to invest in. READ MORE
