Self-lubricating organogels (SLUGs) with exceptional syneresis-induced anti-sticking properties against viscous emulsions and ices

Abstract

“Self-lubricating organogels (SLUGs)” are successfully prepared via a simple crosslinking reaction of polydimethylsiloxanes in the presence of several organic liquids. Due to the syneresis of organogels, a liquid layer is continuously formed on the topmost SLUG surfaces under appropriate conditions. The resulting surfaces show multi-liquid repellency, regenerative superhydrophobicity, and thermo-sensitive anti-icing properties.
