Existing transfer technologies in the construction of film-based electronics and devices are deeply established in the framework of native solid substrates. Here, we report a capillary approach that enables a fast, robust, and reliable transfer of soft films from liquid in a defect-free manner. This capillary transfer is underpinned by the transfer front of dynamic contact among receiver substrate, liquid, and film, and can be well controlled by a selectable motion direction of receiver substrates at a high speed. We demonstrate in extensive experiments, together with theoretical models and computational analysis, the robust capabilities of the capillary transfer using a versatile set of soft films with a broad material diversity of both film and liquid, surface-wetting properties, and complex geometric patterns of soft films onto various solid substrates in a deterministic manner.

The wettability of clay roofing tiles as a surface phenomenon plays a key role considering their deterioration process during exploitation. The experimental investigations in this paper were performed combining the data of the material-relevant parameters and the surface wetting properties in order to assess clay roofing tiles biodurability. The fungus Aspergillusniger was used as a model microorganism whose colonization and growth, during a period of 28 days on the tiles fired at two temperatures (900 and 1020?C), was analyzed. The paper confirms that the colonization of the tiles with the fungus goes through two stages: up to the 18th day, based on the surface characteristics, and after the 18th day when the textural characteristics (values of water absorption) are the dominant parameters.

Organic Framework

Herein, we report on the synthesis of highly oriented and nanostructured metal-organic framework (MOF) films featuring extreme surface wetting properties. The Ni- and Co- derivatives of the metal-catecholate series (M-CAT-1) were synthesized as highly crystalline bulk materials and thin films. Oriented pillar-like nanostructured M-CAT-1 films exhibiting pronounced needlelike morphology on gold substrates were established by incorporating a crystallization promoter into the film synthesis. These nanostructured M-CAT-1 MOF films feature extreme wetting phenomena, specifically superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic properties with water and underwater oil-contact angles of 0º and up to 174º, respectively. Self-cleaning capabilities for the nanostructured, needle-like M-CAT-1 films were illustrated by measuring time-dependent oil droplet rolling-off a tilted surface. The deposition of the nanostructured Ni-CAT-1 on large glass substrates allowed for the realization of an efficient transparent anti-fog coating enabling a clear view even at extreme temperature gaps up to ca. 120 ºC. This work illustrates the strong link between MOF film morphology and induced surface properties based on these framework materials.
