General description

Xiameter PMX-200

Application

  • Enhanced performance coatings: A study utilized silicone oil to develop regenerative superhydrophobic coatings, aimed at improving the performance and durability of high-voltage electrical insulators in cold climates. This application highlights the material′s effectiveness in environmental protection and infrastructure longevity (Khademsameni et al., 2024).
  • Durable super-hydrophobicity: Silicone oil was grafted onto rough thermoplastic polyurethane surfaces to create durable super-hydrophobic properties, demonstrating a significant advancement in materials engineering for creating water-resistant surfaces (Tan et al., 2024).

We present experiments and theory of a constant flow-driven microfluidic oscillator with widely tunable oscillation periods. This oscillator converts two constant input-flows from a syringe pump into an alternating, periodic output-flow with oscillation periods that can be adjusted to between

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) materials have been extensively shown to function as excellent fouling-release (FR) coatings in the marine environment. The incorporation of biocide moieties, such as quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), can impart additional antibiofouling properties to PDMS-based FR coating systems. In
