Title: Aritra Ghosh: Innovator in Wettability Patterned Substrates
Introduction
Aritra Ghosh is a notable inventor based in Chicago, IL (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of fluid transport and drainage through his innovative patent. His work focuses on the development of wettability patterned substrates, which have practical applications in various environments.
Latest Patents
Aritra Ghosh holds a patent for "Wettability patterned substrates for pumpless liquid transport and drainage." This invention provides methods and materials for creating wettability tracks on different substrates, enabling rapid fluid transport and drainage, even in condensing environments. The surfaces of these materials can range from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic. The method involves forming a dispersion of titanium dioxide and a fluoroacrylic co-polymer in an alcohol and water solution. This dispersion is then deposited onto a surface to create a coating, which is dried to evaporate the alcohol. The dried coating is subsequently exposed to radiation, such as UV radiation, to produce a wedge-shaped track. The hydrophilic wedge-shaped track can have a wedge angle ranging from 0 degrees to 45 degrees.
