Definitions
- the present invention relates to structured surfaces with a low surface energy, which have elevations, the elevations being connected to one another by ridges. These surfaces can be modeled from stochastic or periodic fine structures.
- CH-PS-268258 describes a method in which structured surfaces are produced by applying powders such as caolin, talc, clay or silica gel.
- powders such as caolin, talc, clay or silica gel.
- this patent does not describe what the grain size distribution is.
- the writing also remains guilty of how the radii of curvature or the other structural features of the applied particles are.
- WO 00/58410 comes to the conclusion that it is technically possible to make the surfaces of objects artificially self-cleaning.
- the surface structures of elevations and depressions required for this have a distance between the elevations of the surface structures in the range from 0.1 to 200 ⁇ m and a height of the elevation in the range from 0.1 to 100 ⁇ m.
- the materials used for this must consist of hydrophobic polymers or durable hydrophobic material. Detergent detachment from the carrier matrix must be prevented. As with the fonts described above, no information is given about the geometric shape of the structures used. Methods for producing these structured surfaces are also known.
- DE 100 62 201 describes a method for embossing hydrophobic polymers, in which elevations with a height of 50 nm to 1000 microns and a distance of 50 nm to 500 microns are generated.
- DE 101 10 589 describes structured surfaces and a method for their production, the structured surface consisting of elevations with a height of 50 nm to 200 ⁇ m and a distance of 50 nm to 200 ⁇ m and the elevations having an external shape which is described by a mathematical function with a rotational symmetry with respect to a maximum.
- an aspect ratio of> 1 is not decisive for the self-cleaning effect. More important than the aspect ratio is the correct distance between the structures and the hydrophobicity of the surface. Contact angles greater than 150 ° can only be achieved by combining the size of the surface offered by the drops with a low surface energy.
- DE 101 34 362 has therefore developed a structured surface which has line-shaped elevations and which have a height of the elevations from one another of 50 nm to 200 ⁇ m.
- line-shaped elevations are mechanically much more stable compared to pointed or conical elevations, this only applies to forces that act in the direction of the lines.
- the elevations are less stable when forces occur perpendicular to the lines.
- structured, hydrophobic surfaces the structure of which is formed by elevations, adjacent elevations being connected by ridges which have a lower average height than the elevations connected by them, have a significantly higher stability to forces from all directions than conventional structures.
- the present invention therefore relates to structured, hydrophobic surfaces according to claim 1, the structure of which is formed by elevations, which are characterized in that adjacent elevations are connected by ridges which have a lower average height than the elevations connected by them.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing structured surfaces according to at least one of claims 1 to 9 by molding a negative shape onto an unstructured surface, which is characterized in that the negative shape is a surface made up of parts of spheres or rounded truncated pyramids and between the Ball parts has valley-shaped incisions.
- the present invention also relates to the use of the structured Surface according to one of claims 1 to 8 for the production of containers, foils, semi-finished products or reaction vessels and movable objects which have an outer shell with wholly or partially structured surfaces according to one of claims 1 to 9.
- the surfaces according to the invention have the advantage that they have a significantly greater mechanical stability than conventional surfaces with a self-cleaning effect.
- the surfaces according to the invention are also easy to produce.
- the structured, hydrophobic surfaces according to the invention are characterized in that adjacent elevations are connected by ridges which have a lower average height than the elevations connected by them.
- the surveys themselves preferably have an average height of 50 nm to 200 ⁇ m, particularly preferably an average height of 100 nm to 500 nm, from 0.5 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m or from 50 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m and very particularly preferably an average height of 0.5 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m.
- the average height of the ridges connecting the elevations can be designed differently. This enables flat and deep forms of the structures made up of elevations and ridges.
- the average height of the ridges connecting the elevations is preferably from 5 to 99%, preferably from 40 to 90%, particularly preferably from 40 to 50%, from 50 to 60%, from 60 to 80% and very particularly preferably from 60 to 70 % of the average height of the surveys connected by the ridge.
- the surfaces structured according to the invention can have elevations which have a stochastic or periodic structure.
- the stochastic structure is preferably a speckle pattern with an average speckle size of 30 to 50 ⁇ m, preferably 30 to 35 ⁇ m, 35 to 40 ⁇ m, 40 to 45 ⁇ m or 45 to 50 ⁇ m.
- the structure has a stochastic structure, on which a periodic fine structure is superimposed.
- This fine-tied structure preferably has a period of 0.5 to 10 ⁇ m, particularly preferably a period from 0.5 to 3 ⁇ m, from 3 to 6 ⁇ m or from 6 to 10 ⁇ m and very particularly preferably a period from 1 to 2.5 ⁇ m.
- the structure has a periodic coarse structure on which a periodic fine structure is superimposed.
- the structured surface according to the invention preferably has a coarse structure which has a pattern which has a 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- or 8-fold symmetry. It can be advantageous if the coarse structure has a period, that is to say a distance from tip to tip of 20 to 30 ⁇ m. Any fine structure that is present preferably has a period of 0.5 to 10 ⁇ m, very particularly preferably 1 to 2.5 ⁇ m.
- the saddle depth ie the depth from tip to ridge of the coarse structure, is preferably from 2 to 20 ⁇ m, very particularly preferably from 7 to 11 ⁇ m. This depth in particular can be varied. Both deep coarse structures and flat coarse structures are suitable. A periodic coarse structure with a periodic fine structure has proven to be particularly suitable.
- the structured surface can be made from a wide variety of materials. However, the surface very particularly preferably has a polymer.
- the structured surfaces according to the invention are preferably produced by the method according to the invention for the production of structured surfaces by molding a negative shape onto an unslurctured surface, the negative shape having a surface made up of parts of spheres or rounded truncated pyramids and the negative shape having valley-shaped incisions between the spherical parts.
- the burrs on the structured surfaces are created by the incisions that connect the spheres or pyramid tips.
- the molding can e.g. B. done by embossing or rolling.
- the molding by embossing or rolling is particularly suitable for the production of surfaces according to the invention on planar objects, such as. B. foils or plates. It is also possible that
- IMD injection molding or "In Mold Decoration”
- the latter method is particularly suitable for equipping non-planar or three-dimensional objects with a surface according to the invention.
- the molding can also take place in liquid or pasty coatings or in reactive lacquers with simultaneous curing of the coating.
- the surfaces according to the invention can be produced in particular by embossing in polymeric moldings or else by molding in and subsequent hardening of coating systems.
- the ideal way to do this is to use rollers that have corresponding patterns over the circumference.
- Polymer moldings in the aforementioned sense are, for example, injection molded moldings or deep drawn moldings.
- the structuring can take place simultaneously with the shaping.
- Flat polymer moldings are intelligently provided with the corresponding structures during rolling or calendering.
- a subsequent painting and molding of the structure after the shaping falls into the paint with simultaneous or subsequent hardening, for example by UV light.
- a material selected from soft metals or soft metal alloys, plastics, thermoplastic plastics or thermosetting plastics, in particular polyamides, polymethacrylates, polysulfones, polyoxymethylenes, polyparaphenylene oxides, polyparaphenylene sulfides or polyimides, can be used as the material for producing surfaces according to the invention. Embossing into hydrophobic polymers, hydrophobic copolymers or hydrophobic polymer blends is particularly advantageous.
- the objects do not have to consist entirely of the materials mentioned, but it may be sufficient if the objects are coated or coated with one of the materials mentioned, the thickness of the coating or coating having to be at least so large that the impression of the surveys according to the invention is possible.
- the surface or the material of the surface preferably has hydrophobic properties, it being possible for the surface or the material to be rendered hydrophobic before or after the structuring, or else the material itself can have hydrophobic properties without treatment. If the surface is rendered hydrophobic, this is preferably done by treating the surface with at least one compound from the group of alkylsilanes, perfluoroalkylsilanes or alkyldisilazanes.
- the material for producing surfaces according to the invention has hydrophobic properties.
- Such materials include in particular bulk polymers with polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride or polymers made from perfluoroalkyoxy compounds, be it as a homo- or copolymer or as a component of a blend of a polymer blend.
- Surfaces according to the invention can therefore be produced from materials which have hydrophobic behavior even before the structuring of their surface.
- a surface modification with compounds which contain hydrophobic groups may be sufficient.
- Methods of this type involve the covalent attachment of monomers or oligomers to the surface by a chemical reaction, e.g. B. Treating surfaces with alkyl fluorosilanes, such as Dynasilan F 8261 from Sivento Chemie Rheinfelden GmbH, with fluorinated ormocers, or by treatment with at least one compound from the group consisting of alkylsilanes, perfluoroalkylsilanes or alkyldisilazanes.
- alkyl fluorosilanes such as Dynasilan F 8261 from Sivento Chemie Rheinfelden GmbH
- radical sites are first generated on the surface, which react with free-radically polymerizable monomers in the presence or absence of oxygen.
- the surfaces can be activated by means of plasma, UV or gamma radiation and by means of special photoinitiators. After activating the surface, i.e. H. after the generation of free radicals, the monomers can be polymerized. Such a method generates a mechanically particularly resistant coating.
- the coating of a material or a structured surface by plasma polymerization of fluoroalkenes or fully or partially fluorinated vinyl compounds has proven particularly useful.
- hydrophobization of a structured surface by means of an RF hollow cathode plasma source by plasma polymerization with argon as the carrier gas and a fluoromonomer, such as. B. C 4 F 8 , octafluro-2-butene, perfluorocyclobutane or tetrafluoroethylene, as a monomer at a pressure of about 0.2 mbar represents a technically simple and elegant variant for subsequent coating.
- hydrophobization of polymer surfaces of any shape by means of elemental fluorine diluted in inert gas is an elegant standard process for appropriately equipped companies and is therefore suitable for the hydrophobization of surfaces according to the invention.
- an object that has already been manufactured can be coated with a thin layer of a hydrophobic polymer. This can be done in the form of a lacquer or by polymerizing appropriate monomers on the surface of the object. Solutions, pastes or dispersions of polymers such as e.g. B. polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or reactive paints are used. Particularly suitable monomers for polymerization on the materials or their structured surfaces are alkyl fluorosilanes such as Dynasilan F 8261 (Sivento Chemie Rheinfelden GmbH, Rheinfelden).
- the negative form with stochastic structures is preferably produced by exposing a photoresist plate to a speckle pattern.
- speckle patterns are described in detail in the book by Pramod K. Rastogi, title "Digital Speckle Pattern Interferrometry and Related Techniques", published by Wiley-Verlag, Chichester 2000.
- An outstanding property of this stochastic structure is that there are no interference phenomena on the surface .
- the stochastic structures can be produced by exposure to speckle patterns in a photoresist.
- the respective speckle pattern can be generated by coherent radiation of a primary diffuser. It is possible to set both the size and the symmetry of the speckies. Etched glass panes, for example, can be used as the primary diffuser.
- the negative forms preferably have structures that are periodic and / or stochastic in character. Such negative forms are obtainable by producing positive forms with stochastic and / or periodic structures, from which the negative forms are molded.
- the positive forms preferably have stochastic structures that are overlaid with a periodic fine structure or periodic coarse structures that are overlaid with a periodic fine structure.
- the stochastic structure is based on speckle patterns with an average speckle size of 30 to 50 ⁇ m. After creating this rough stochastic structure, this structure is overlaid with a periodic fine structure.
- the period of this fine structure is from 0.5 to 10 ⁇ m, preferably from 1 to 2.5 ⁇ m.
- the periodic rough structure which is overlaid by a periodic fine structure, arises from the overlay of two periodic structures.
- the coarse structure preferably has a period between 20 to 30 ⁇ m.
- a fine structure with a Period from 0.5 to 10 microns, preferably from 1 to 2.5 microns.
- the saddle depth of the rough structure is approx. 4 ⁇ m. This depth in particular can be varied. Both deep coarse structures and flat coarse structures are suitable.
- a periodic coarse structure with a periodic fine structure has proven to be particularly suitable.
- Surfaces structured according to the invention have particularly high contact angles. This largely prevents wetting of the surface and leads to rapid drop formation. If the surface is inclined appropriately, the drops can roll on the elevations, pick up dirt particles and thus clean the surface at the same time.
- Objects with surfaces structured according to the invention are very easy to clean. If rolling drops of z. B. rain water, dew or other water in the area of application of the object is not sufficient for cleaning, the objects can be cleaned by simply rinsing with water.
- Bacteria and other microorganisms require water for adhesion to a surface or for multiplication on a surface, which is not available on the hydrophobic surfaces of the present invention.
- Surfaces structured according to the invention prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms and are therefore bacteriophobic and / or antimicrobial.
- One area of application for the surfaces according to the invention are containers which are to be emptied without residues or holders which can be cleaned quickly, such as, for example, wafer holders in semiconductor production.
- wafers are transported to various baths using special holders (cassettes).

- Preferred uses are containers, transparent bodies, pipettes, reaction vessels, foils, semi-finished products or holders.
- objects made of almost any materials can be equipped with the structured foils according to the invention by applying and fixing the foil on the object.
- the present invention also includes movable objects which have an outer shell with a wholly or partially structured surface according to the invention.
- movable objects can e.g. B. be selected from vehicles, blades of wind turbines, turbine wheels or agitator blades.
- the moving objects can in particular vehicles such. B. cars, buses, trucks, ships, boats, submarines, airplanes, balloons, zeppelins or rockets or toys.

- Example 1 shows an SEM image of a self-cleaning surface produced according to the invention, which has a stochastic structure. The production of this surface is described in Example 1.
- Example 2 shows an SEM image of a self-cleaning surface produced according to the invention, which has a periodic coarse structure in the deep form, overlaid by one has periodic fine structure. The production of this surface is described in Example 2.
- Example 3 shows an SEM image of a self-cleaning surface produced according to the invention, which has a periodic coarse structure in the flat design, superimposed by a periodic fine structure. The production of this surface is described in Example 3.
- Example 1 Production of a self-cleaning surface with a stochastic structure
- a glass pane was coated with a highly viscous positive photoresist ma - P1275, with a lacquer thickness of approx. 15 ⁇ m.
- the speckle pattern was generated by irradiating a primary diffuser. Coherent laser light with a dose of 10 mJ / cm 2 and a wavelength of 364 nm was used. After exposure, a highly concentrated developer was used to develop the structure.
- the photoresist was sputtered with a gold layer as a piater base and then electroplated in nickel. With the nickel shim thus produced, the structure was molded in a hydrophobic, UV-curing lacquer system.
- Example 2 Production of a self-cleaning surface with a periodic coarse structure, overlaid with a periodic fine structure in the deep expression
- a glass pane was coated with a highly viscous positive photoresist ma - P1275, with a lacquer thickness of approx. 15 ⁇ m.
- the rough structure as well as the fine structure was generated by irradiating a cross grating (27 ⁇ m and 2 ⁇ m period) with different distances.
- Coherent laser light with a dose of 2 x 70 mJ / cm 2 and a wavelength of 364 nm was used to produce the coarse structure.
- Coherent laser light with a dose as in Example 1 was used for the subsequent generation of the fine structure. With the coarse structure, a saddle depth of 9 ⁇ m could be achieved at a height of the elevations of 9.5 to 10 ⁇ m.
- the height distance from the lowest to the highest elevations of the fine structure was also approx. 10 ⁇ m.
- a highly concentrated developer was used to develop the structure.
- the photoresist was sputtered with a gold layer as a piater base and then electroplated in nickel. With the nickel shim thus produced, the The structure is molded in a hydrophobic, UV-curing lacquer system.
- Example 3 Production of a self-cleaning surface with a periodic coarse structure, superimposed by a periodic fine structure in the flat shape.
- This structure is produced analogously to Example 2.
- the radiation doses for the coarse structure were reduced to 2 x 6mJ / cm 2 .
- the coarse structure had a height of 3 to 3.5 ⁇ m.
- the rough structure of this variant has a saddle depth of 2 ⁇ m.
- the contact angle of a liquid with the surface was determined with a contact angle measuring device. The more hydrophobic the surface, the greater the contact angle. A distinction is made in the measurement between the advancing and retreating angles. At the advancing angle, a drop is pipetted onto the surface and the angle of the tangent at the point of contact between the solid and the spreading liquid drops is determined. At the retreat angle, the tangent of a water drop that decreases in volume is measured. Have good lotus surfaces Progress and retreat angles of more than 150 °.
- Roll-off angle specifies the inclination of a surface where a drop of water rolls off this surface independently. The smaller the roll angle, the better the self-cleaning effect.
