Superamphiphobic Cellulose
The present Aalto University’s patented invention relates to surfaces with extremely repellency for liquids. This invention provides an aerogel coated with at least one type of surface modifier, wherein the aerogel is superamphiphobic. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing said aerogel.
Advantage: The aerogel coated with surface modifier, is superamphiphobic aerogel that combine superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties, is highly porous material, extremely light weight, low density, and extreme liquid repellency.
Use: In anti-fouling of surfaces, filters, membranes, actuators, in packaging materials, in anti-fingerprint surfaces, in self-cleaning and dirt-repellent surfaces, as coatings for miniaturized sensors, in biochips, in floating devices such as superfast swimsuits, in oil tankers to prevent oil leakage, as thermal insulator in clothing, cooking ware, traffic, airplanes, boats and buildings, as weight support, as selective membrane, as air filter, as low-permittivity material, as gas-permeable carrier and in gas extraction from liquids.
