中文摘要 本研究計畫為解決生物污垢附著於船舶等水下器具表面,造成嚴重的經濟、環境等影響,因此嘗試以仿生概念建構新穎的解決方法。本計畫欲模仿兩生類動物皮膚具有柔軟能起皺及滑溜的特性,分成兩階段實驗進行製備「類流體滑液表面」之抗水中生物附著表面塗層。第一部分,為使用本研究室開發,能大面積製造高有序皺褶表面的濕式誘導釋放起皺過程,結合可分解之嵌段共聚物(degradable block copolymer)的自組裝,來得到奈米多孔皺褶結構,並在此表面注入潤滑液,形成如同蛙類皮膚表面構造之抗汙垢生物附著表面;第二部分,使用含矽嵌段共聚物做為主要材料,透過適當的高溫退火或是溶液退火的方式,讓其表面生成一常溫下為液態的黏著流體層,而此流體層經共價鍵連結於底漆上,應能抵抗水流的衝擊,成為長效的抗生物附著表面。
英文摘要 Bioinspired lubricant-infused surfaces exhibit various unique properties attributed to their liquid-like and molecularly smooth nature. Excellent liquid repellency and “slippery” properties, self-healing, antiicing, anticorrosion characteristics, enhanced heat transfer, antibiofouling, and cell-repellent properties have been already demonstrated. Herein, inspired by complex multifunctional frog skins, we try to create robust hierarchically wrinkled lubricant-infused polymer surfaces for anti-biofouling adhesion. At the first stage, by combination of degradable block copolymer self-assembly and spontaneous surface wrinkling via a dynamic thermal contraction process, a micrometer-sized wrinkled patterns with nanometer-sized pores would be fabricated. After that, lubricants would be infused into the formed nanopores, forming an anti-biofouling adhesion coating like amphibian skins. At the second stage, silicone-based copolymers would be used. Because of their liquid nature, a “fluid-like” surface should be formed after control of the thermal treatment process. The fluid-like surface is composed of polymer chains and connected with substrates by covalent bonds which should enhance the mechanical strength, achieving a durable anti-fouling coating. Based on the two fabrication approaches of lubricant-infused surfaces, we believe that ideal and effective anti-fouling coatings could be created.
