Nature‐Inspired Substrate‐Independent Omniphobic and Antimicrobial Slippery Surfaces (2021)
Journal Article
Cox, H. J., Gibson, C. P., Sharples, G. J., & Badyal, J. P. S. (2022). Nature‐Inspired Substrate‐Independent Omniphobic and Antimicrobial Slippery Surfaces. Advanced Engineering Materials, 24(6), Article 2101288. https://doi.org/10.1002/adem.202101288

Inspired by the carnivorous Nepenthes pitcher plant, a range of highly liquid repellent lubricant-infused surfaces has been devised (low water droplet contact angle hysteresis and sliding angle values). This entails matching functional pulsed plasma... Read More about Nature‐Inspired Substrate‐Independent Omniphobic and Antimicrobial Slippery Surfaces.

Tea–Essential Oil–Metal Hybrid Nanocoatings for Bacterial and Viral Inactivation (2021)
Journal Article
Cox, H. J., Sharples, G. J., & Badyal, J. P. S. (2021). Tea–Essential Oil–Metal Hybrid Nanocoatings for Bacterial and Viral Inactivation. ACS Applied Nano Material, 4(11), 12619-12628. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsanm.1c03151

Natural plant-derived antimicrobial nanocoatings have been synthesized by mixing brewed tea with cinnamaldehyde oil. Concurrent addition of copper or silver salts produces hybrid tea–cinnamaldehyde–copper or tea–cinnamaldehyde–silver nanocoatings, re...
