Recently, The core members of Titanran technology research and development team published the title "Skin-inspired design integ--rates mechano-chemical thermal r-- Obubug" in the international top journal "Advanced Materials" The research article "into superhydrophobic c--oatings" indicates that the research on Titanium-hydrophobic coatings has reached the world's top level! Zhang Hailong, general manager and R&D director of Zhuhai Tiran Technology Co., LTD., and Bu Xinyu, R&D manager are the co-first authors of the article. Professor Liu Libin from Qilu University of Technology (Shandong Academy of Sciences) and Professor Wang Zuankai from City University of Hong Kong are the corresponding authors of the article.

    Improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption are crucial to building an economical and energy-saving society. Because surface materials interact with the external environment as a barrier and directly affect energy use, to achieve optimal energy efficiency, the surface must have self-cleaning, chemical inertness and long-term durability, and conversely, the energy consumption caused by material maintenance alone exceeds 10% of the total energy consumption, let alone other energy waste. Therefore, controlling and designing the structure of surface materials, enhancing their chemical and thermal stability, and giving them more properties to cope with complex operating environments, including changing temperature and humidity, is the only way to reduce energy consumption. This is one of the reasons why Titanian Technology continues to conduct in-depth research and development on super-hydrophobic surfaces.

    Among them, the natural superhydrophobic surface found on the skin of many organisms has inspired the design of bionic artificial coatings, which are widely used in energy utilization processes such as self-cleaning, thermal management, energy harvesting, anti-biological fouling and anti-icing, and have made great progress in research and development innovation. However, in fact, to solve the mechanical strength, chemical strength, high adhesion and flame retardant of super hydrophobic coating is difficult to coexist, in order to truly apply all-around stable coating to energy saving, it is still more complicated and difficult.

    However, the Titanian team has found an effective solution, and it is the research results disclosed in this research article! Inspired by human skin, the Titanian team has proposed an integrated three-layer multifunctional superhydrophobic coating (STC) that meets the needs of surface materials for simultaneous superposition of structural, chemical, mechanical and thermal properties. The reasonable design of multiple gradients such as roughness, wettability, mechanochemical robustness and flame retardant and the construction of three continuous interfaces make STC still have continuous liquid repellency, corrosion resistance, flame retardant, strong surface wear resistance and strong substrate adhesion in harsh environments. STC provides a feasible and sustainable strategy for the preparation of energy - and resource-saving materials. Related work to "Skin-inspired design integrates mechano-chemical-thermal robustness into su--perhydrophobic. coatings "was published in the top international journal Advanced Materials.
