Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of super-hydrophobic surface preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a stable super-hydrophobic surface capable of preventing liquid drop impact. BACKGROUND

[0002] Super-hydrophobic surfaces have attracted much attention due to their potential applications in the fields of ice and stain repellency, and corrosion resistance. The core idea of super-hydrophobic surfaces is to realize the de-wetting phenomenon of water droplets based on the low surface energy of the material and the air pocket layer formed by the micro-nano structure. However, due to the metastable nature of the solid-gas interface, the air pocket in the micro-nano structure has a significant defect in maintaining ability: especially in the case of external liquid droplets impacting the surface at a certain speed, the air pocket is easily pierced by the liquid and collapses, leading to the irreversible transition of the super-hydrophobic surface from the Cassie state to the Wenzel state, which greatly restricts the actual application. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize the micro-nano structure morphology design to inhibit the escape of air in the structure, so as to improve the thermodynamic stability of the Cassie state of the super-hydrophobic surface.

[0003] Previous studies have shown that the actual ability of the super-hydrophobic surface to transition from the Cassie state to the Wenzel state can be quantitatively characterized by the breakthrough pressure (P break ) value of the air pocket in the micro-nano structure, i.e. P break =Lγ|sin(Ψ)| / A, where A is the projected area of the liquid-gas interface, L is the contact line length of the solid-liquid-gas three-phase, γ represents the surface tension of the liquid, and Ψ is the angle between the tangent direction of the solid-liquid-gas three-phase contact line and the liquid droplet impact force. Based on the above theory, researchers have successively proposed and developed various structure design methods, aiming to further improve P break by increasing γ|sin(Ψ)| and L, or reducing A. For example: (1) it has been reported that a re-entrant multi-layer structure was constructed on the surface of a rigid material using photolithography technology, which maximized the support of the upward component of the liquid surface tension to the liquid droplet impact, successfully increasing P break from 876 Pa to 2262 Pa. (2) it has been reported that a mixed hollow structure of fused and connected air pockets and non-connected air pockets was constructed on a rigid substrate using ion etching technology, which increased the solid-liquid-gas three-phase length and increased P break to 2.94 kPa. (3) it has been reported that a vertical column array structure was prepared on a silicon material using laser processing technology, and the thermodynamic stability of the super-hydrophobic state was effectively improved by reducing the liquid-gas interface projected area A by changing the micro-structure spacing. However, the existing methods have limitations in that they mainly use one or two of the above factors to enhance P break , thus resulting in limited improvement and complex process, which seriously restricts the development of the practical application of super-hydrophobic surfaces.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a stable superhydrophobic surface resistant to droplet impact, specifically including the following steps:

[0050] S1. A plano-convex lens with a focal length of 200mm is used to focus and irradiate the aluminum alloy surface using a delayed femtosecond laser pulse train. With the aluminum alloy sample position fixed, a computer-controlled three-dimensional moving platform scans and irradiates the sample surface to form a periodic micro-nano structure on the aluminum alloy surface. The periodic micro-nano structure is composed of alternating ablation grooves and ridge-like protrusions on the edges of the ablation grooves.

[0051] The delayed femtosecond laser pulse train is generated by a laser beam splitting delay component, which includes a beam splitter and a mirror arranged coaxially; the reflectivity / transmittance ratio of the beam splitter is 3:7.

[0052] The total laser energy of the delayed femtosecond laser pulse train is 600 μJ, the pulse width is 40 fs, the time delay between adjacent pulses is 20 ps, ​​and the energies of the generated neutron pulses are set to E1=180 μJ, E2=294 μJ, E3=88.2 μJ, E4=26.5 μJ...;

[0053] The scanning speed is 1 mm / s, and the spacing between scan lines is 50 μm.

[0054] S2. Using a delayed femtosecond laser pulse train orthogonal to the scanning direction in step S1, a secondary scribing scan is performed on the surface of the aluminum alloy product, causing the ridge-like protrusion structure to bend and extend from the central region of the protrusion to both sides, ultimately forming a protruding, bent-waist-shaped topological structure on the sample surface, with a macroscopic morphology exhibiting a continuously twisted, wavy contour. Figure 2 (a), its prominent curved ridge-like apex has a negative curvature hook shape ( Figure 2 (b)), and the angle of curvature of the ridge is 30° ( Figure 3 Furthermore, the top of the microstructure and the sidewalls of the ablation groove are both covered with multi-scale nanostructures. Figure 2 (middle cd). For this structure, the parameters in Pbreak were quantified using 3D confocal microscopy, and the theoretical value is Pbreak≈6.1×10. 4Pa, the results are shown in Figure 3

[0055] S3. Then the sample surface was ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water for 20 min, and then placed in a vacuum drying oven at a temperature of 200℃ for annealing for 3h, to obtain a stable superhydrophobic surface resistant to liquid drop impact.

[0056] After the annealing treatment, the water droplet contact angle of the sample surface was measured to be 162°, and the rolling angle was 0.5°, as shown in Figure 4 Fig. 2a. In a single droplet bouncing experiment, the surface appeared to be droplet fragmentation at a droplet impact speed V = 6m / s, but no residual droplet pinning phenomenon occurred, and the superhydrophobic surface remained in the Cassie state, as shown in Figure 5 Fig. 2a. In addition, in the water flow impact experiment at a speed of V = 10.6m / s, it was observed that the surface droplets bounced back and no droplet pinning phenomenon occurred, and the superhydrophobic surface remained in a good Cassie state, as shown in Figure 6 Fig. 2b.

The sample was fixed, and a computer-controlled three-dimensional moving platform was used to scan and irradiate the sample surface, forming a periodic micro-nano structure on the aluminum alloy surface. The periodic micro-nano structure was composed of alternatingly arranged ablation grooves and ridge-shaped protrusions on the edges of the ablation grooves.

[0060] The total laser energy of the delayed femtosecond laser pulse train was 600μJ, the pulse width was 40fs, the time delay between adjacent pulses was 60ps, and the sub-pulse energies in the generated pulse train were set to E1 = 180μJ, E2 = 294μJ, E3 = 88.2μJ, E4 = 26.5μJ, etc.

[0061] The scanning speed was 1mm / s, and the interval between the scanning lines was 40μm.

[0062] Steps S2-S3 are the same as in Example 1.

[0063] After the annealing treatment, the water droplet contact angle of the sample surface was measured to be 160°, and the rolling angle was 1°, as shown in Figure 4 Fig. 2b. In a single droplet bouncing experiment, the surface appeared to be droplet fragmentation at a droplet impact speed V = 6m / s, but no residual droplet pinning phenomenon occurred, and the superhydrophobic surface remained in the Cassie state, as shown in Figure 5 Fig. 2b.​

[0064] Example 3

[0065] The embodiment provides a method for preparing a stable super-hydrophobic surface against liquid drop impact, and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0066] S1. A plano-convex lens with a focal length of 200 mm is used to irradiate an aluminum alloy surface by focusing a delayed femtosecond laser pulse train. In the case of fixing the position of the aluminum alloy sample, the sample surface is scanned and irradiated by a computer-controlled three-dimensional moving platform to form a periodic micro-nano structure on the aluminum alloy surface. The periodic micro-nano structure is composed of ablation grooves and ridge-shaped protruding structures on the edges of the ablation grooves.

[0067] The total laser energy of the delayed femtosecond laser pulse train is 400 μJ, the pulse width is 40 fs, the time delay between adjacent pulses is 20 ps, and the sub-pulse energies in the generated pulse train are set as E1=120 μJ, E2=196 μJ, E3=58.8 μJ, E4=17.7 μJ, and so on.

[0068] The scanning speed is 1 mm / s, and the interval between scanning lines is 40 μm.

[0069] Steps S2-S3 are the same as in Example 1.

[0070] After the annealing treatment is completed, the water drop contact angle of the sample surface is measured to be 158°, and the rolling angle is 1.5°, as shown in FIG. c. In a single liquid drop bouncing experiment, the surface appears to be liquid drop fragmentation at a liquid drop impact speed V=6 m / s, but no residual liquid drop pinning phenomenon occurs, and the super-hydrophobic surface water remains in a Cassie state, as shown in FIG. c. Figure 4 Figure 5

[0071] Example 4

[0072] The embodiment provides a method for preparing a stable super-hydrophobic surface against liquid drop impact, and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0073] S1. A plano-convex lens with a focal length of 200 mm is used to irradiate an aluminum alloy surface by focusing a delayed femtosecond laser pulse train. In the case of fixing the position of the aluminum alloy sample, the sample surface is scanned and irradiated by a computer-controlled three-dimensional moving platform to form a periodic micro-nano structure on the aluminum alloy surface. The periodic micro-nano structure is composed of ablation grooves and ridge-shaped protruding structures on the edges of the ablation grooves.

[0074] The delayed femtosecond laser pulse train is generated by a laser light splitting and delaying assembly, and the laser light splitting and delaying assembly comprises a beam splitting piece and a mirror arranged coaxially, and the reflectance / transmittance ratio of the beam splitting piece is 5:5.

[0075] ​​The total laser energy of the delayed femtosecond laser pulse train is 600 μJ, the pulse width is 40 fs, the time delay between adjacent pulses is 20 ps, and the energy of the generated sub-pulse is set as E1=300 μJ, E2=150 μJ, E3=75 μJ, E4=37.5 μJ, and so on.

[0076] The scanning speed is 1 mm / s, and the interval between scanning lines is 50 μm.

[0077] Steps S2-S3 are the same as in Example 1.

[0078] After the annealing treatment, the water droplet contact angle on the surface of the sample is measured to be 158°, and the rolling angle is 3°, as shown in FIG. 2d. Figure 4 In a single droplet bouncing experiment, the surface exhibits droplet fragmentation at a droplet impact speed V=6 m / s, but no residual droplet pinning phenomenon occurs, and the superhydrophobic surface remains in a Cassie state, as shown in FIG. 2d. Figure 5

[0079] The key technical point and advantage of the present application is that: by utilizing the strong thermodynamic coupling characteristics in the process of delayed femtosecond laser pulse train and material interaction, the high-temperature evaporation and plasma sputtering phenomena in the ablation process are suppressed, so that the material in the groove part is not removed in the form of evaporation or plasma, but is directionally extruded and migrated to the two side edges through local thermal expansion, and finally a ridge-shaped protruding structure is formed above the material plane; then the laser shock wave effect in the orthogonal scanning process is used to bend and deform the ridge-shaped structure. Among them, the bending of the ridge structure suspends and bends above the groove, so that the liquid cannot form an impact effect in the vertical direction on the air bag, and the impact force of the high-speed liquid is mainly borne by the solid top end of the bent ridge-shaped structure. On the other hand, the tip of the air bag's inner wall side bending structure is perpendicular downward, similar to a reentrant structure, so that the liquid surface tension maximizes the component resisting the droplet impact direction. In addition, the continuous expansion and distortion of the wave-shaped protruding structure profile in space along the groove direction further prolongs the contact length of the solid-liquid-gas three-phase line. The above structure helps to slow down the impact and penetration of high-speed droplets and water flow on the surface air bag, thereby significantly improving the thermodynamic stability of the superhydrophobic surface. At the same time, the multi-level nanostructure constructed on the microstructure surface can further reduce the adhesion of the solid-liquid interface. The experimental measurement shows that the rolling angle of the laser-processed aluminum alloy surface is as low as 0.5°, and it exhibits complete rebounding characteristics under the impact of a liquid droplet at V=6 m / s, and can withstand the impact of a water jet at a speed of up to V=10.6 m / s, which proves that this surface has excellent Cassie state anti-droplet impact stability and at the same time has ultra-low solid-liquid interface adhesion characteristics.
