  2. Making a Better Bulletproof Vest • A group of researchers at Univ. Del. have impregnated Kevlar vests with a nanoparticle colloidal suspension resulting in a dramatic improvement in projectile impact. • The addition of a very small amount of fluid increased performance equivalent to doubling the number of Kevlar sheets while not changing flexibility of fabric. Why? Kevlar & Nanoparticle Suspension Kevlar Lee, Wetzel and Wagner J. Material Science (2003)

  3. Making a Better Bulletproof Vest • A group of researchers at Univ. Del. have impregnated Kevlar vests with a nanoparticle colloidal suspension resulting in a dramatic improvement in projectile impact. • The addition of a very small amount of fluid increased performance equivalent to doubling the number of Kevlar sheets while not changing flexibility of fabric. Why? Kevlar & Nanoparticle Suspension Kevlar http://www.ccm.udel.edu/STF/images1.html

  4. Nanoparticle Suspensions • The nanoparticle (d = 13nm) suspensions are shear thickening – the faster you shear or stretch them more viscous (thick) they become. • The dramatic increase in viscosity dissipates energy as the Kevlar fibers are pulled out by the impact of the bullets. Increasing Stretch Rate

  5. Why Size Matters 1mm Particles 100nm Particles • For large particles the fluid remains Newtonian like air or water below 30wt% • Above 30% interactions between and collisions of particles result shear thickening and elastic effects – particles interact to form large aggregate structures • For nanoparticles, the effect of nanoparticle addition can be observed at concentrations closer to 1wt% - why? • Surface area increases with reduced particle size resulting in enhanced interparticle interactions • At same volume fraction smaller particles are packed closer together – electrostatic interactions are stronger and diffusion is faster so they interact more frequently. 10nm Particles

  6. Copying Nature – Biomimetic Superhydrophobic Surfaces • The leaves of the lotus plant are superhydrophobic – water beads up on the surface of the plant and moves freely with almost no resistance making the leaves self-cleaning. • The surface of the lotus leaf has 10mm sized bumps which are coated by 1nm sized waxy crystals which make the surface extremely hydrophobic - repel water. • The water does not wet the entire surface of the leaf, but only the tops of the large scale roughness. • Synthetic superhydrophobic surfaces have designed to produce stain-resistant clothing and coatings for buildings and windows to make them self-cleaning. Water Drops on a Lotus Leaf

  7. Drop Motion on a Superhydrophobic Surfaces • Droplets don’t wet, but roll down superhydrophobic surfaces. • Water-based stains don’t adsorb. • Dirt is picked up by rolling drop as it moves. Dirt Superhydrophobic Surface

  8. d w Using Superhydrophobic Surfaces to Reduce Drag • We are currently using superhydrophobic surfaces to develop a passive, inexpensive technique that can generate drag reduction in both laminar and turbulent flows. • This technology could have a significant impact on applications from microfluidics and nanofluidics to submarines and surface ships. • How does it work? The water touches only the tops of the post and a shear-free air-water interfaces is supported – effectively reducing the surface area. • Currently capable of reducing drag by over 70% in both laminar and turbulent flows!

  9. The GENMAR GEORGE T (Japan Universal Shipbuilding, Tsu shipyard) Can These Surfaces Have a Real Impact? • Current Energy Resources – Fossil Fuels • Increasing scarcity • Increasing cost • Dangerous to maintain security • Ocean-going vessels accounted for 72% of all U.S. imports in 2006 • Technology could be employed to make ships more efficient or faster • Friction drag accounts for 90% of total drag experienced by a slow moving vessel • A 25% reduction in friction drag on a typical Suezmax Crude Carrier could… • Save $5,500 USD / day in #6 fuel oil • Prevent 43 metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each day 60μm

  10. Why Size Matters • To support larger and larger pressures and pressure drops, the spacing of the roughness on the ultrahydrophobic surfaces must be reduced into the nanoscale. • Currently developing processing techniques for large area nanofabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces with precise patterns of surface roughness. • Roll-to-roll nano-imprint lithography – a cutting edge tool.

  11. Why Roll-to-Roll Nanoimprint Lithography • Roll-to-roll technology will enable fabrication of nanostructured materials and devices by a simple, rapid, high volume, cost-effective platform. • Current cost of nanofabrication is $25,000/m2 • This technology capable of pushing it to $25/m2 • Will help address many of the challenges facing society.
