Аннотация: In modern life, people face a wide number of sticky problems when adhesion is highly undesirable: water and dirt stick to clothes, useful materials stick to the walls of their containers and cannot be fully used, water sticking and freezing on airplane wings affects handling and can be dangerous, biological liquids can stick and form clots inside medical devices threatening patients’ lives, etc. Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) with pressure stable omniphobicity could help to solve these issues. Lubricant depletion from porous surface and subsequent degradation of omniphobic properties is the major problem for SLIPS. It could be resolved by attaching flexible, liquid-like sidechains to the polymer matrix. Understanding the relationship between the structure of such polymer films and wetting effects is therefore of great importance. The present work is devoted to the study of droplet pinning on crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer films with varied amounts of attached flexible PDMS sidechains and clarification of the relationship between slippery and viscoelastic properties of the films. An one-stage approach to the synthesis of such slippery coatings on smooth and porous substrates in “eco-friendly” pressurized CO2 solutions is proposed. Pinning force and Young’s modulus (E) of the films on silicon substrates with variation of the grafted sidechains amount (x) are measured. The non-monotonic dependence of the pinning force on the amount of sidechains is obtained: the pinning force decreases at small x values (region I) and starts to increase at higher x (region II). The effects of the grafted sidechains amount, as well as matrix softening, are discussed for each case. It is demonstrated that the proposed method of film synthesis allows one to obtain thin, uniform coatings on fabrics without gluing the fibers. Such coatings with an optimal amount of PDMS sidechains demonstrate decreased sliding angles for droplets of water and aqueous alcohol solutions, as compared to PDMS coatings without grafted sidechains. The proposed technique may be of interest for deposition of coatings on porous surfaces having a complex morphology, such as textiles, aerogels, porous electrodes, etc.
