These microscopic cavities induce capillary forces that keep sanitizers outside the concave areas.
Coatings feature sustained release of antimicrobials
These coating essentially act like a sponge, when a vapor bubble forms on the surface they wick liquid underneath it using capillary forces to delay the dry-out phenomena associated with critical heat flux.
Thermal management and the biology of cool
The coatings are custom-made for each application by combining a porous solid with a liquid that gets trapped within it via strong capillary forces.
