Definitions
- the present invention relates to surfaces with extreme repellency for liquids as well as to superamphiphobic aerogels that combine superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties. More specifically the invention relates to a superamphiphobic aerogel. The present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing said aerogel. The present invention also relates to the use of said aerogel.
- US patent application 2005/0181195 and international patent publication WO 2006/116424 disclose superamphiphobic surfaces. Said patent publications disclose fiber structures with desired wetting properties. However, there remain problems in large scale production and better concepts are called for. US patent application 2006/0110537 discloses an anti-fingerprint coating construction consisting of nano-composite material, which is hydrophobic, oleophobic or superamphiphobic.
- Aerogel is a low-density and highly porous solid state material derived from a solvent swollen gel, i.e. percolative networks within a solvent medium, in which the liquid solvent phase has been replaced by air or gas without damaging the solid phase leaving a framework structure of substantially the same shape as the gel and without reducing the volume, or with only slightly reduced volume. This results in an extremely low density solid with remarkable properties.
- the aerogel porosities can vary widely, but they can be even 95-98%.
- aerogels can be produced by extracting the liquid component of a solvent swollen gel, such as a hydrogel, through supercritical drying. The liquid is brought in a supercritical state and slowly drawn off without causing the solid matrix in the gel to collapse from capillary action.
- the first aerogels were produced from silica gels.
- Silica aerogels have a lattice structure consisting of amorphous silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2 ).
- Liu et al. Japanese of Non-Crystalline Solids 354:4927-4931, 2008
- US patent application 2004/0171700 discloses superhydrophobic silica aerogels treated with fluorine containing compounds.
- Carbon aerogels and alumina aerogels, chalcogels represent other forms of aerogels.
- cellulose-based porous aerogels have been produced from aqueous gels by direct water removal by freeze-drying (Paakk ⁇ et al.
- Aerogels have been used as thermal insulation and catalysts and catalyst supports, where their porosity and surface area make them especially useful. There are many instances where aerogels could be used to a greater extent. However, the known aerogels have disadvantages. Mechanical brittleness is also typical for most aerogels, i.e. they break into pieces, even when small stresses are applied. The prior art discloses that native nanocellulose aerogels with suppressed brittleness can be prepared (Paakk ⁇ et al. Soft Matter 4:2192, 2008). However, they are superamphiphilic, as they readily absorb water and oil and are thus superabsorbent.
- the present invention relates to an aerogel coated with at least one type of surface modifier, wherein the aerogel is superamphiphobic. More specifically the aerogel comprises cellulosic material or silica, wherein the aerogel is superamphiphobic and gas-permeable.
- the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an aerogel, wherein the method comprises steps of selecting material for preparing an aerogel from cellulosic material or from a metal oxide, such as silica, forming said material into an aerogel and treating the aerogel with a surface modifier to obtain a superamhiphobic aerogel.
- the present invention also relates to the use of said aerogel in anti-fouling of surfaces, filters, membranes, actuators, in packaging materials, in anti-fingerprint surfaces, in self-cleaning and dirt-repellent surfaces, as coatings for miniaturized sensors or other devices, in biochips, in floating devices such as superfast swimsuits, in oil tankers to prevent oil leakage, as thermal insulator in clothing, cooking ware, traffic, airplanes, boats and buildings, as weight support, as a material with low permittivity, as a selective membrane, as air filter, as gas-permeable carrier and in gas extraction from liquids.
- Superhydrophobic aerogels have been made previously, mainly using silica aerogels.
- the present inventors surprisingly found out that superamphiphobic, gas permeable aerogels coated with a surface modifier could be produced.
- the aerogels of the present invention are the first aerogels that are superoleophobic or superamphiphobic and thus differ from the prior art.
- the superamphiphobic aerogel made from cellulose is the first one made from a biomaterial.
- Aerogels are solids with a bicontinuous structure of which one of the phases is a gas such as air. Because the air or gas phase is continuous, the aerogels are highly porous, and the pores extend through the aerogel from one side to the other side. Because the aerogels mostly consist of air or gas, they have very low weight and low density. An additional potential benefit is that the continuous air phase stabilizes the Cassie-Baxter state of wetting.
- the aerogel of the present invention is an extremely light weight, highly porous material. Furthermore, it has large buoyancy i.e. large upward force when immersed in oil and water or their combinations.
- the aerogel also forms a plastron i.e. a thin layer of air when immersed in oil and water or their combinations.
- the present inventors also surprisingly found out that the superamphiphobic, gas permeable aerogel coated with a surface modifier supports considerable weight not only on water surface but on oils.
- Figure 1 depicts SEM images of the native nanocellulose aerogel with robust network structuring at several length scales.
- the scale bars in the Figures IA and IB are 500 nm and 10 ⁇ m, respectively.
- Figure 1C shows a nanocellulose aerogel sheet of 2 cm in diameter and 0.5 mm in thickness. Nanocellulose aerogel sheets are flexible, which is very uncommon in relation to most aerogels.
- Figure 2 depicts superamphiphobicity and load carrying capacity on liquid surfaces for native nanocellulose aerogel (2 cm in diameter) coated using (Tridecafluoro-1, 1,2,2- tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane.
- Contact angles for paraffin oil (153°) and water (160°), respectively, are presented in center part of Figure 2, and show superoleophobicity and superhydrophobicity.
- the extreme repellency for oil and water is demonstrated by inserting said aerogel on oil or water surfaces, and demonstrating that the aerogels do not become wetted and do not sink by loading them by inserted weights (for example metal washers), even when the aerogels float several millimeters below the free liquid surfaces (see also Fig. 8).
- Figure 3 illustrates the load carrying capacity on oil and water for the (Tridecafluoro- l,l,2,2-tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane modified native nanocellulose aerogel (diameter
- the experimental data for paraffin oil (cubes) and water (diamonds) fit to a model calculating the upward force from the buoyancy and surface tension (line).
- the model takes into account the surface tension force around the perimeter of the aerogel disc, and also the buoyancy force, which equals the weight of the volume of the liquid replaced by the aerogel and the air.
- Figure 4A illustrates dirt repellency for the (Tridecafluoro-1, 1,2,2- tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane modified native nanocellulose aerogel.
- Figure 4B depicts that washing of non-fluorinated aerogel in water for 20 h does not remove the colour, but instead the aerogel disintegrates.
- Figure 4C depicts superamphiphobic (Tridecafluoro-ljl ⁇ -tetrahydrooctyOtrichlorosilane modified native nanocellulose aerogel with a round drop of methylene green solution before washing.

- CVD chemical vapour deposition
- Figure 7 demonstrates gas permeability for the (Tridecafluoro-1, 1,2,2- tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane modified native nanocellulose aerogel.
- Figure 7A depicts that a piece of pH-indicator paper was embedded between two superamphiphobic aerogel sheets and subsequently exposed to HCI vapour. The pH- indicator rapidly changed colour (one aerogel sheet was removed for clarity) showing that HCI vapour rapidly passed through the aerogel.
- Figure 7B depicts the original pH-indicator paper.
- Figure 8 depicts a setup to measure the load bearing of the aerogels on liquid (oil or water) surfaces. The weight of the metal washers is supported by the aerogel. It is notable that the washers have depressed the water surface to such large extent that the complete aerogel and all the washers are located below the free liquid surface.
- Figure 9 demonstrates that superamphiphobic aerogels can carry devices floating on liquid surfaces.
- a primitive device was constructed by using a light emitting diode (LED) connected to a battery and emits red light. The total weight of the device is 3059.4 mg and it is sandwiched between two sheets of (Tridecafluoro-1, 1,2,2- tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane modified native nanocellulose aerogel with dimensions 50 mm x 50 mm x 1 mm that allow floating on water.
- LED light emitting diode
- Figure 10 depicts that (Tridecafluoro-1, 1, 2, 2-tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane modified native nanocellulose aerogel has metallic appearance due to the plastron on the aerogel surface immersed in paraffin oil (Figure 10A) and in water (Figure 10B). Light reflects efficiently at the air-liquid interface of the plastron.
- Figure 1OC depicts that the sample in air has a mat appearance because it only reflects light diffusively.
- Figure 11 depicts images of a water droplet (5 ⁇ l) bouncing on the superamphiphobic (Tridecafluoro-ljl ⁇ -tetrahydrooctyOtrichlorosilane modified native nanocellulose aerogel. Each image was taken with an interval of 0.016 seconds. Such bouncing effect observed for superhydrophobic materials exemplifies their dirt- repellent nature.
- Figure 12 depicts a SEM image of the silica aerogel. The scale bar is 100 nm.
- Figure 13A depicts water contact angle measured on silica aerogel, the contact angle is 161°.
- Figure 13B shows a 15 ⁇ l water droplet dropped on fluorinated silica aerogel surface with a tilt angle of 3.8° and its bouncing off from the surface in Figure 13C. The time interval between image in Figure 13B and Figure 13C was 0.02s.
- Figure 13D shows paraffin oil contact angle of 156° on fluorinated silica aerogel surface.
- Figure 13E shows a paraffin oil dropped on a tilted silica aerogel with tilt angle of 11.3°. The oil drop rolled off from the silica aerogel in Figure 13F. The time interval between Figure 13E and Figure 13F was 0.04s.
- Figure 14 depicts plastrons on the fluorinated silica aerogel when immersed in water (Figure 14A) and oil (Figure 14B).
- the present invention relates to an aerogel, characterized in that the aerogel comprises a highly porous network composed of cellulosic material or metal oxides in air or gas, wherein the said aerogel is superamphiphobic due to at least one type of surface modifier, and the aerogel is permeable to gases due to its porosity.
- the aerogel comprises of nanocellulose whose method for manufacturing is facile and easy to scale-up in industry.
- the method can be used for manufacturing several types of aerogels.
- the surface modifier can be added onto the aerogel network using a multitude of methods using solution- or gas-based chemistries and different interactions between the surface modifiers and the aerogels, such as chemical reactivity, hydrogen bonding, coordination bonding, ionic bonding, pi-stacking, or combinations thereof.
- the surface modifiers are reacted with the aerogel using gas phase chemical vapour deposition which does not require organic solvents during the synthesis procedure, which is environmentally benign.
- the surface modifiers with fluorinated chains and silane end groups are chemical vapour deposited with nanocellulose aerogels.
- the aerogel of the present invention has a very low surface energy and that a liquid drop on the aerogel displays a very high contact angle.
- Said superamphiphobic aerogels have many unexpected properties.
- the present inventors report for the first time aerogels with superamphiphobic properties and demonstrate their application for floating and load bearing on both oil and water.
- the inventors of the present invention demonstrate that aerogels treated with a surface modifier can become superoleophobic, superhydrophobic, and gas permeable membranes, and surprisingly support considerable weight not only on a water surface but even on oils with low surface tension. Such properties are valid also for oil and water mixtures, which is relevant for many technical applications.
- the material is superamphiphobic i.e. at the same time oil and water repellent.
- Especially the inventors provide a flexible nanocellulose aerogel with superamphiphobic properties.
- An advantage of the material of the present invention is that it is of extremely light weight, highly porous material, i.e. aerogel.
- the gas or vapour can go through the aerogel, but liquid not.
- the material has large buoyancy, i.e. large upward force when immersed in water.
- aerogel refers to highly porous solid formed from a solvent swollen network gel, in which the liquid is replaced with a gas.
- the aerogel consists of more than 90% or even 98% gas, or, but in the present invention in some applications a lower density suffices, such as 50%.
- hydrogel refers to a gel in which the liquid phase is water.
- nanocellulose refers to very refined cellulose.
- the interconnected aerogel network has been substantially liberated from the macroscopic cellulose fibers and have dimensions of ca. 5 nm - 100 nm in the perpendicular direction in comparison to the local direction of the network skeleton (see Figure 1) and whose length can vary widely, up to several ⁇ ms long or longer.
- nanocellulose is cleaved down to ca. 5 nm diameter. The benefit in this process is that it retains the original native crystalline structure of cellulose, leading to good mechanical properties.
- Cellulose aerogel can also be made by a method, wherein cellulose is completely dissolved down to the individual polymer chains (Gavillon and Budtova, Biomacromolecules 9(l) :269-277, 2008 and Jin et al., Colloids Surf A 240:63-67, 2004). In this case the native crystalline cellulose structure does not remain.
- the "contact angle” or "CA” is the angle at which the liquid/vapour interface meets the solid interface.
- the contact angle is specific for a given system and is determined by the interactions across the three interfaces. When a drop of a liquid rests upon a surface, it will spread out over the surface to a degree based upon such factors as the surface tensions of the liquid and the substrate, the smoothness or roughness of the surface, etc.
- the quantification of hydrophobicity or oleophobicity can be expressed as the degree of contact angle of the drop of the liquid on the surface.
- the contact angle ⁇ depends on the interracial tension ⁇ between the solid surface (s), liquid droplet (I), and gas (g). For example, when the contact angle between the water droplet and surface is small, the surface is hydrophilic. When the contact angle is large, but smaller than 150°, the surface is hydrophobic. When the contact angle is greater than 150°, the surface is superhydrophobic. Similar classification is valid for oil droplets, however, the definitions are oleophilic, oleophobic, and superoleophobic. The prefix "lipo-" is a synonym for the prefix "oleo-”. Young's equation above is applicable when the substrate surface is smooth.
- a liquid drop can comprise a water or water based or aqueous drop.
- Superhydrophobic materials such as the leaves of the lotus plant have surfaces that are extremely difficult to wet.
- superoleophobicity or “superlyophobicity” or “super oil repellency” or “superlipophobicity” refers to a characteristic of a material that is extremely oil- repellent and causes an oil drop or oil based drop on their surface to have a high contact angle (CA), typically in excess of 150°.
- CA contact angle
- Superoleophobic surfaces with contact angle of 150° or greater for oils are extremely rare and considerably more challenging to construct as the surface tension for oils is only a fraction of that of water.
- amhiphobicity or “lyophobicity” or “omniphobicity” refers to a characteristic of a material that is at the same time hydrophobic and oleophobic and causes a liquid drop on their surface to have a contact angle (CA) typically greater than 90°.
- CA contact angle
- superamphiphobicity or “superlyophobicity” or “superomniphobicity” refers to a characteristic of a material that is at the same time extremely superhydrophobic and superoleophobic and causes a liquid drop on their surface to have a high contact angle (CA), typically 150° or greater.
- CA contact angle
- materials having a contact angle of 140° or greater are occasionally referred to as superamphiphobic materials [Sheen et al. Journal of Polymer Science: Part B: Polymer Physics, Vol. 46, 1984-1990 (2008)].
- superamphiphopbic materials have low wettability, are dirt repellent, self- cleaning and have reduced hydrodynamic drag.
- plaque refers to a thin layer of air which forms when super-repellent surfaces are immersed in water or oil. Plastron also refers to a gas cell to supply oxygen.
- self-cleaning means that on superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces a water droplet rolls along the inclined surfaces and collects on its way dirt, such as particles and greasy substances.
- surface modifier means a surface-active agent or molecule capable of binding on the surface of the aerogel framework to modify its surface energy. They may vary widely, depending on the process and materials.
- a surface modifier molecule intrinsically consists of two parts, i.e. the head and the tail, that are covalently connected. The tail yields a low surface energy. Low surface energy can be obtained with e.g. alkanes having several branches, thus containing several low energy -CH 3 groups but most preferably with fluorinated or semifluorinated chains.
- a head part facilitates the bonding to the aerogel network by chemical bonding or physical bonding, such as acid-base, ionic bonding, coordination bonding, hydrogen bonding, pi-stacking, or their combinations.
- the aerogel framework can first be chemically modified to have anionic groups, such as carboxylates, sulphates, sulphonates, or phosphates and the like.
- the surface modifier can have cationic head groups, such as quaternary ammonium, pyridinium and the like to facilitate binding on the surface.
- the aerogel framework can be modified to have said cationic or basic chemical groups and the surface modifiers the matching anionic or acidic chemical groups.
- the surface modifier can be bound with hydrogen bonds and several matching hydrogen bonds, even by segments of DNA, and coordination chemistry, as well known in supramolecular chemistry. For example perfluorobutanesulfonic acid would bind to nanocellulose aerogel, once the nanocellulose would be modified to have basic amine groups.
- Certain higher molecular weight polymeric surface modifiers such as fluorine-containing block copolymers, could bind taken the binding polymeric block is selected judiciously.
- a binding block could be the protein denoted as cellulose binding domain.
- a preferred embodiment deals with silanes with low surface energy tails.

- X may represent the same or different groups.
- Application of the surface modifier may comprise of a monolayer containing only one type of surface modifier or a mixed monolayer.
- the amount of surface modifier is a full monolayer, the reaction is self-terminating because only one layer of molecules can react with the aerogel surface.
- the full monolayer is needed to shield the underlying cellulose surface from the liquid, and to maximize the surface density of surface modifier leading the low surface energy.

- the contact angle is 158°.
- a water droplet on the surface of FTCS-nanocellulose aerogel i.e. nanocellulose aerogel treated with FTCS gives a static contact angle of 160° (See Table 1).

- silanes include but are not restricted to trichloromethylsilane (TCMS), trichloroethylsilane, trichloro(n- propyl)silane, trimethoxymethylsilane, triethoxymethylsilane, (3-phenylpropyl)- methyldichlorosilane (PMDS), benzyltrichlorosilane, methylbenzyl-trichlorosilane, trifluoromethylbenzyltrichlorosilane, methyltriethoxysilane, (3-phenylpropyl)- methyldimethoxysilane, (3-phenylpropyl)-methyldiethoxysilane, tris(trimethylsiloxy) chlorosilane (Tris-TMSCI), tris(trimethylsiloxy)silylethyldimethylchlorosilane and bis(trimethylsiloxy)methylsilylethyldimethylchlorosilane
- the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an aerogel which is coated with at least one type of surface modifier, wherein the method comprises steps of selecting material for preparing an aerogel from cellulosic material or a metal oxide, forming said material into an aerogel and treating the aerogel with a surface modifier to obtain a superamphiphobic aerogel.
- the treatment with a surface modifier can be carried out at any process step.
- the method for manufacturing the aerogel comprises steps of preparing a suspension comprising cellulosic material, subjecting the suspension to enzymatic and/or mechanical disintegration to obtain nanocellulose gel, forming said nanocellulose gel to obtain a superamphiphobic nanocellulose aerogel.
- the surface modifier is provided by chemical vapour deposition or liquid phase deposition.
- the disintegration of the fiber suspension is carried out with a friction grinder or fluidizer such as microfluidizer, macrofluidizer or fluidizer-type homogenizer to obtain nanocellulose gel.
- nanocellulose is obtained by cleaving cellulosic material into networks with lateral dimensions of ca. 5 nm.
- the cellulose is dissolved completely to the individual polymer chains.
- the surface modifier can be reacted with the aerogel by bringing the surface modifier solution in contact with the aerogel. Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) does not require solvents i.e. it is thus more environmentally benign.
- the present invention also relates to the use of the present aerogel in anti-fouling of surfaces, filters, and actuators, and membranes, in packaging materials, in anti- fingerprint surfaces, in self-cleaning and dirt-repellent surfaces, as coatings for miniaturized sensors and other devices, in biochips.
- the present aerogel can be used in floating devices such as superfast swimsuits and in oil tankers to prevent oil leakage.
- the applications of the present aerogel include the use as thermal insulator for example in clothing, cooking ware, traffic, airplanes, boats and buildings.
- the aerogel can be used as a selective membrane; liquids such as water cannot go through the membrane but vapours and gases can.
- the aerogel can be used as an air filter to remove solid particles from air, as weight support, as gas-permeable carrier and in gas extraction from liquids.
- the present inventors demonstrate that flexible, nanocellulose aerogels treated with a surface modifier, such as fluorosilane are superoleophobic, superhydrophobic, and gas permeable membranes, support considerable weight not only on a water surface but even on oils with low surface tension.
- the weight support is achieved by surface tension acting at different length scales: at the macroscopic scale along the perimeter of the carrier, and at the microscopic scale by preventing soaking of the aerogel thus ensuring buoyancy.
- the superoleophobicity leads to the first demonstration of a thin layer of air at the aerogel surface when immersed in a nonaqueous medium, mimicking the plastron used by some insects and spiders for underwater-respiration.
- Aerogel of the present invention When some weight load is added to the aerogel of the present invention, while floating on a liquid like water or oil, the aerogel depresses the liquid surface, but does not sink. This demonstrates superoleophobicity and superhydrophobicity. Aerogel of the present invention provides coating to materials, which would otherwise sink without such a coating.
- a plastron is a thin layer of air which shields the aerogel from the liquid. In other words there is a gas cell to supply oxygen.
- Certain aquatic organisms like insects or spiders also have a plastron in water, and they use it for breathing underwater. Therefore the aerogel of the present invention has biomimetic properties.
- the present inventors report the first observation of a plastron in a non-aqueous liquid. Obviously the plastron is present in water and in oil because the aerogel has both oil- and water-repellent properties.
- the aerogel carrier mimics the water strider by following common features but surprisingly extends to concepts from pure water to oils and mixtures of oils and water: (a) load carrier on oil and water liquid surfaces, (b) superoleophobicity, (c) structures ranging from the nanoscale to the micronscale, (d) plastrons in oil and water liquids, i.e. thin layer of air at the surface of the immersed aerogel (Fig. 10B) and (e) flexibility.
- the flexibility of the water strider legs and of the aerogel is beneficial for the supporting ability by adapting their shape and thus preventing early piercing the liquid surface.
- the aerogel has additional attractive features including (a) larger supporting force by combining buoyancy and surface tension, (b) cargo weight allowed up to 99,6% of maximum supporting force due to ultra light weight of aerogel, (c) gas permeability (Fig. 7A) and (d) balance without further assembly.
- a single water strider leg cannot carry a load on top of water, because the leg would rotate dropping the load in the water. Therefore, to keep balance, the water strider and its robotic counterparts need multiple legs assembled to a rigid body.
- the advantage of the aerogel, compared to water strider legs, is that it keeps itself in balance without any additional assembly steps.
- the present invention opens up a new platform for carriers or for coatings which have large load-bearing capability on various organic liquids including oil-polluted water, and are at the same time foul-resistant and gas-permeable membranes, applicable e.g. as coatings for miniaturized robots or future environmental gas sensors floating on practical liquids.
- Application areas of the aerogel of the present invention include, but are not restricted to use in anti-fouling of surfaces, filters, actuators, and membranes, in packaging materials, in anti-fingerprint surfaces, in self-cleaning and dirt-repellent surfaces, in biochips, as thermal insulator in clothing, cooking ware, traffic, airplanes, boats and buildings, as weight support, as gas-permeable carrier, in oil repellent structures, in composites and conductors, as coating to materials which would normally sink to provide weight support, as material with low permittivity.
- the present aerogel can be used in anti-fouling of surfaces in boats instead of antifouling paints. The growth of micro-organics is prevented.
- the aerogel can be also used in flow resistance in boats and other objects.
- the aerogel of the present invention can be used while obtaining fresh water from the sea water.
- the plastron is useful for gas extraction from liquids, for example for immersed fuel cells.
- Reduced hydrodynamic drag and buoyancy of the present aerogel make it useful in superfast swimsuits or other floating devices.
- the present aerogel can be utilized in oil tankers having a double wall with air in between to prevent oil leakage in case one wall would break.
- the pulp used in refining to prepare a nanocellulose hydrogel was a commercial never- dried ECF-bleached birch kraft pulp from UPM-Kymmene Oyj, Finland.
- the pulp suspension was diluted to 3 % consistency and cellulose nanofibrils were disintegrated using an ultra-fine friction grinder (Masuko Supermass colloider®, model MKZA 10-15J).
- the method of preparation is not critical as related results are obtained using microfluidization to cleave the large cellulose fibers to nanocellulose.
- the grinder consists of lower rotating and upper stationary SiC grinding stones (gap 100 ⁇ m). During grinding the power consumption was kept at levels 3.2 - 3.8 kW. Pulp suspension was recirculated in the grinder five times. The solids content of the nanocellulose gel was 1.3%.
- the aqueous hydrogel was magnetically stirred for one day.
- the mould for the aerogel was a press-to-seal silicone isolator (Grace Bio-Labs Inc.) on a glass slide. Aerogels with various sizes and thicknesses were prepared, for example a disc with diameter 20 mm and thickness 0.5 mm, and a square of 50 mm x 50 mm and thickness 1.0 mm. In principle any aerogel size and shape can be made.
- the mould was filled with the aqueous gel and transferred in a vacuum oven for vacuum drying at room temperature. At first, due to evaporation, the aqueous gel cools down and freezes typically within a few minutes.
- the gel freezes because the evaporating water molecules consume heat of evaporation. Once the sample was frozen, water was removed by sublimation. When the pressure reached 3xlO "2 mbar, the aerogel was ready. The time for reaching this pressure depends on the volume of the gel and also on the number of samples in the vacuum oven. For example for one sample with diameter 20 mm and thickness 5 mm, the drying time is approximately 2 hours. More samples or larger volume of gel require more time. Other procedures for making the aerogel are described in Paakk ⁇ et al., Soft Matter 4, 2492 (2008).
- the silica aerogel are described in Paakk ⁇ et al., Soft Matter 4, 2492 (2008).
- the silica aerogel was purchased from Airglass (Airglass AB, Staffanstorp, Sweden; www.airglass.se).
- FTCS Tridecafluoro-1, 1, 2, 2-tetrahydrooctyl
- FTCS Tridecafluoro-1, 1, 2, 2-tetrahydrooctyl
- a piece of nanocellulose aerogel was immersed in the FTCS solution The solution penetrates in the aerogel completely, without disintegration of the aerogel. After 1 h, the aerogel was taken out of the solution and placed in dry toluene to wash away the unreacted FTCS. After 15 minutes, the aerogel was washed a second time by placing in a beaker of fresh dry toluene.
- Example 2 the aerogel was taken out of the toluene and placed in the hood and subsequently in the vacuum oven to evaporate the remaining toluene. This lead to high water and oil contact angle.
- the method of applying the surface modifier is not critical and both gas and liquid phase chemistries can be used.
- the nanocellulose aerogel is a highly porous material with density of 0.01 g/cm 3 and porosity of 98%.
- SEM images showed a highly entangled network of nanoscopic fibrils, with hierarchical porous structures from the nano to micro scale in nanocellulose aerogel (Fig . IA and ID) .
- the pore distribution was 37% and 57% in 2-
- the untreated nanocellulose aerogel was superamphiphilic; it absorbed water and mineral oil in less than 0.064 seconds and is thus a superabsorbent. This is due to the combination of amphiphilic properties of cellulose and large surface area caused by large porosity.
- SEM analysis was carried out with JEOL JSM-7500F Scanning Electron Microscope.
- nanocellulose aerogel became superoleophobic and superhydrophobic:
- a 5 ⁇ l mineral oil droplet was applied on the FTCS-nanocellulose aerogel surface, and the contact angle was 158°.
- a water droplet ( 10 ⁇ l) on the surface of FTCS-nanocellulose aerogel gave a static contact angle of 160°.
- Fig. 11 shows images of a water droplet (5 ⁇ l) bouncing on the superamphiphobic aerogel. Each image was taken with an interval of 0.016 seconds. Such bouncing effect observed for superamphiphobic materials exemplifies their dirt- repellent nature.
- the aerogel is a network composed of nanosized cellulose nanofibrils and their micronsized aggregates leading to hierarchies (Fig. 1) fluorinated using (tridecafluoro- l,l,2,2-tetrahydrooctyl)trichlorosilane (FTCS) by chemical vapour deposition (CVD).
- the aerogel was flexible and superamphiphobic with a CA of 153° and 158° for paraffin oil and mineral oil, and 160° for water (Fig. 2). Even though the aerogel is highly porous (porosity 98%), the super-repellency prevents water and oil to enter the pores.
- the load bearing capability of the aerogel on oil and water were inspected (Fig. 2).
- an aerogel with a mass of 3.0 mg and diameter 19 mm could bear a maximum load of 960 mg, and made a dimple of 4.3 mm depth without sinking.
- the aerogel could carry a maximum load of 1658 mg with a dimple of 4.6 mm.
- the data could be fitted by a model comprising buoyancy and surface tension along the perimeter of the disc (Fig. 3).
- the surface tension acts on the aerogel carrier at different length scales: a macroscopic surface tension along the perimeter of the disc, and a microscopic surface tension around each fibril preventing the liquid from penetrating the aerogel, and thus maintaining the buoyancy.
- a non-fluorinated cellulose aerogel (Fig. 5A) and fluorinated superamphiphobic aerogel (Fig . 5A) were kept in water overnight, for several hours under rotating .
- the non-fluorinated aerogel absorbed water and swelled, and when it was gently agitated by rotation, it fell apart into many pieces.
- the superamphiphobic aerogel stayed floating on the water. In other words, it did not swell and the aerogel did not change in shape nor got disintegrated.
- the superamphiphobic properties tremendously improved the aerogel stability in water.
- the dirt-repelling properties of the cellulose aerogel were demonstrated by using ink, i.e. an aqueous solution of methylene green.
- the contact angles of water and oil droplets on different materials were measured: the nanocellulose aerogel of the present invention, silica aerogel, fines made from pulp, and filter paper.
- Fines and filter paper are forms of cellulose. Fines had a broad size distribution from about 20 nm to several micron. Filter paper contains structures from the micron to tens of micron scale. Fines allows to make a superoleophobic or superamphiphobic surface. Filter paper allows to make a superhydrophobic surface and an oleophobic surface, but not a superoleophobic or superamphiphobic surface. The experiment showed that nanoscopic structures are essential for achieving superoleophobicity or superamphiphobicity.
- Superamphiphobic silica aerogel Silica aerogel is an ultralightweight and highly porous solid material with nanoscopic features (Fig. 12).
- the fluorinated silica aerogel was superamphiphobic, with a water contact angle of 161° (Fig. 13Aa) and a mineral oil contact angle of 156° (Fig. 13D).
- the silica aerogel had self-cleaning properties as water and oil droplets were easily removed from the surface by tilting the sample (Fig. 13B and 13C) for water; Fig 13E and 13F for oil).
- the plastron i.e. the thin layer of air on the surface of an immersed liquid-repellent sample, was present on the fluorinated silica aerogel immersed in water (Fig.
