Friction determines whether liquid droplets slide off a solid surface or stick to it. Surface heterogeneity is generally acknowledged as the major cause of increased contact angle hysteresis and contact line friction of droplets. Here we challenge this long-standing premise for chemical heterogeneity at the molecular length scale. By tuning the coverage of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), water contact angles change gradually from about 10° to 110° yet contact angle hysteresis and contact line friction are low for the low-coverage hydrophilic SAMs as well as high-coverage hydrophobic SAMs. Their slipperiness is not expected based on the substantial chemical heterogeneity of the SAMs featuring uncoated areas of the substrate well beyond the size of a water molecule as probed by metal reactants. According to molecular dynamics simulations, the low friction of both low- and high-coverage SAMs originates from the mobility of interfacial water molecules. These findings reveal a yet unknown and counterintuitive mechanism for slipperiness, opening new avenues for enhancing the mobility of droplets.

Antibacterial efficiency of surface-immobilized Flavobacterium-infecting bacteriophage
Leppänen, Miika; Maasilta, Ilari; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (American Chemical Society, 2019)Control of bacterial diseases by bacteriophages (phages) is gaining more interest due to increasing antibiotic resistance. This has led to technologies to attach phages on surfaces to form a biomaterial that can functionally ... -
Antiviral action of a functionalized plastic surface against human coronaviruses
Shroff, Sailee; Haapakoski, Marjo; Tapio, Kosti; Laajala, Mira; Leppänen, Miika; Plavec, Zlatka; Haapala, Antti; Butcher, Sarah J.; Ihalainen, Janne A.; Toppari, J. Jussi; Marjomäki, Varpu (American Society for Microbiology, 2024)Viruses may persist on solid surfaces for long periods, which may contribute to indirect transmission. Thus, it is imperative to develop functionalized surfaces that will lower the infectious viral load in everyday life. ... -
Enhanced Surface Ligands Reactivity of Metal Clusters by Bulky Ligands for Controlling Optical and Chiral Properties
Deng, Guocheng; Malola, Sami; Yuan, Peng; Liu, Xianhu; Teo, Boon K.; Häkkinen, Hannu; Zheng, Nanfeng (Wiley, 2021)Surface ligands play critical roles in determining the surface properties of metal clusters. However, modulating the properties and controlling the surface structure of clusters through surface‐capping agent displacement ...
