nano-SiO2 modified core-shell polyacrylate composite emulsion was synthesized by seeded semi-continuous starved pre-emulsion polymerization and sol-gel technique. The influence of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane(KH-570), tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) on the properties of emulsion and film were studied. The SiO2/silicone polyacrylate composite latex and the resultant films were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), water contact angle goniometer (WCAG). The results showed that organic silicon and nano-SiO2 were effectively grafted to the polyacrylate molecular chain. We can observed there are two glass transition temperatures (Tg) in the DSC curve. The water contact angle (WCA) on the PAE film and SSPAE film separately attained 62.5°and 85.5°.

A robust superhydrophobic organosilica sol-gel-based coating on a cotton fabric substrate was successfully fabricated via a cost-effective one-step method. The coating was prepared by modification of silica nanoparticles with siloxane having long alkyl chain that allow to reduce surface energy. The coating on cotton fabric exhibited water contact angle of 151.6°. The surface morphology was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, and surface chemical composition was measured with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results showed the enhanced superhydrophobicity that was attributed to the synergistic effect of roughness created by the random distribution of silica nanoparticles and the low surface energy imparted of long-chain alkane siloxane. In addition, the coating also showed excellent durability against washing treatments. Even after washed for 30 times, the specimen still had a water contact angle of 130°, indicating an obvious water-repellent property. With this outstanding property, the robust superhydrophobic coating exhibited a prospective application in textiles and plastics.

In this paper, we successfully prepare hydrophobic surface of ZnO/ZnS nanorods arrays modified by stearic acid. The morphology, microstructure, optical transmittance and self-cleaning property are examined by SEM, XRD, UV-vis and water contact angle measurements, respectively. The ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanoarrays shows a higher value of water contact angle in compare with that of pure ZnO nanorods arrays. After treatment by stearic acid, the resulting ZnO/ZnS nanostructure exhibits the best hydrophobicity with water droplets about 146.5 . The results show that the surface hydrophobicity of ZnO/ZnS nanoarrays can be improved by using stearic acid with low-surface-energy.

A new kind of microsphere filler was synthesized with octyltrimethoxysilane (WD13) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) by sol-gel method. The morphology of the filler was measured by TEM. The so synthesized spheres were added into the silicone rubber. Both the strain-stress and the water contact angle of the silicone rubber were researched. The results showed that both the mechanical property and the hydrophobic performance of the composite were improved compared with the blank specimen. The possible strengthen mechanism of the filler was discussed. The neotype silica sphere researched in this paper could react with the silicone rubber chains which perfects the vulcanization of the silicone rubber. This kind of sphere filler exhibits many merits for usage as filler.

Poly(3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium propane sulfonate) (poly(DMAPS)) zwitterionic brushes were grafted onto the polycarbonateurethane (PCU) surface to improve its hydrophilicity and hemocompatibility by Ultraviolet (UV) polymerization. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle were used to characterize the chemical and physical properties of the modified PCU surface. DMAPS-grafted PCU films showed significantly high hydrophilicity owing to the high hydrophilic poly(DMAPS) zwitterionic brushes. The cytotoxicity tests revealed the sulfoammonium zwitterionic brushes modified PCU film had good cytocompatibility. In addition, the hemocompatibility of the modified PCU films was evaluated by hemolytic tests and platelet adhesion tests. The PCU films modified with zwitterionic brushes had a lower hemolytic index, showed effective resistance to platelet adhesion. Due to the fact that sulfoammonium zwitterionic brushes can improve the hemocompatibility of the PCU surface, this gives rise to its potential application as blood-contacting materials or devices.

Optically transparent hydrophobic inorganic-organic hybrid sols was obtained employing Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), Methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), and Heptadecafluoro-1, 1, 2, 2-tetradecyl)trimethoxysilane (FAS), with nitric acid as catalyst. Hybrid coating was dip coated on glass slides. The results showed that the water contact angle of MTES modified SiO2 coating was only 105° . As the weight ratio FAS varied from 0 to 8 wt.%, the water contact angle reached as high as 116.5°. The coated glass presented transmittance of 92%, 2% higher than the non-coated ones. The increase in transmittance suggested an antireflective effect of the hybrid coating. With further SEM characterization of the surface morphology, we finally obtained the optimized optically transparent hydrophobic hybrid coating with the MTES/TEOS_as 1/1(molar ratio) and FAS as 2 wt.%.

In order to improve the hemocompatibility of polycarbonateurethane (PCU), the biomimetic phosphorylcholine (PC) group was introduced onto material surface. Brush structure having PC groups was formed by ultraviolet (UV) initiated polymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) to improve the hydrophilicity and hemocompatibility of PCU surfaces. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electrical microscopy (SEM) and water contact angle were used to characterize the chemical and physical properties of the modified PCU surfaces. Compared with original PCU, the PC-grafted PCU surfaces showed significantly high hydrophilicity as indicating by low water contact angle. The hemocompatibility of the PC-grafted PCU surfaces was evaluated by platelet adhesion test. The PCU surfaces modified with phosphorylcholine zwitterionic brushes showed effective resistance to platelet adhesion and high hemocompatibility. These PC-grafted PCU materials will have potential application as blood-contacting materials or devices due to their good mechanical and hemocompatible properties.

Antireflective coatings with stable hydrophobicity for solar tube were prepared via sol-gel method and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) treatment. The coatings have a high porosity, groove-like surface morphology and a big static water contact angle. As a result, the coatings exhibit high transmittance even in high humidity environments. The transmittance peak can reach up to 99.02% which increased by 7% compared with the substrate and the wavelength band increased by more than 5% is from 438nm to 1000nm. After prolonged exposure to strong ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, the static water contact angle of the HMDS treated antireflective coatings decreased very small from 102o to 98o. In addition, the low-temperature tests showed the contact angle did not decline even at-50°C. The results suggest that the coatings prepared in present paper have stable hydrophobic and antireflective performance in the environment of strong UV radiation and low temperature.

In this paper, the preparation of hydrophobic and crosslinked poly- (vinyl alcohol)/silica organic?inorganic hybrid nanofibers via the sol?gel electrospinning method is reported. Silica was produced through the acetic acid catalyzed reaction of a silica precursor consisting of dimethyldimethoxysilane (DMDMOS), methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyltriethoxysilane (FAS1313; Dynasylan? F 8261) and phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS; Dynasylan? 9165) in a 2-propanol?water mixture. Hybrid nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning the silica precursor and an aqueous PVA solution. Chemical, structural, thermal and surface analyses were conducted by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) and water contact angle (WCA) methods, respectively. The obtained hybrid nanofibers were insoluble in aqueous solution. SEM images displayed that highly crosslinked and porous structures were obtained and the average fiber diameters of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/silica nanocomposites were around 70 nm. A nanofiber surface with a water contact angle of 130? was achieved.
