Title:
APPARATUS WITH A LIQUID-IMPREGNATED SURFACE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018171927
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide devices for conveying fluids and/or solids, the devices having a surface that provide a high-slip boundary condition, thereby facilitating the flow of material.SOLUTION: In some embodiments, an apparatus has a surface with an impregnating liquid and a plurality of micro-scale and/or nano-scale solid features spaced sufficiently close to stably contain the impregnating liquid therebetween. The impregnating liquid fills spaces between the solid features, the interior surface stably contains the impregnating liquid between the solid features, and the impregnating liquid is substantially held in predetermined position between the plurality of solid features regardless of orientation of the surface and regardless of flow, passage, or removal of fluids and/or solids through, into, or out of the apparatus.SELECTED DRAWING: None
