Temperature-driven sustainable anti-scaling on phase-change lubricant-infused surface
The use of lubricant-infused surfaces(LIS)presents a highly promising approach to mitigating con-tamination from various sources,including bacteria,ice,and scale.However,these lubricants'natural liquid characteristics frequently cause them to run out in adverse environments,which results in a failure to prevent fouling.Here,we report the sustainable anti-scaling performance of a phase-change lubricant-infused surface(PCLIS).The increased resistance is ascribed to a high degree of stability in the solid state at temperatures below PCL's melting point(T<Tm).Further-more,the anti-scaling capability comes from its smooth morphology and reduced scale adhesion in liquid state(T>Tm).As a result,this work offers a viable method to deal with scaling problems in real-world applications,especially those that involve temperature changes.
