Latest Patents
One of Marc Perlin's latest patents is for durable superhydrophobic surfaces. This invention features a superhydrophobic material that exhibits an apparent advancing dynamic contact angle of at least about 150° and a roll-off angle of about 15° for water after enduring at least 100 abrasion cycles. The superhydrophobic material may consist of a low surface energy material combined with a polymeric material. Notably, this material is self-healing, allowing it to recover its wettability after sustaining damage. Additionally, the invention includes components designed to reduce drag in turbulent flow conditions, further enhancing its practical applications.
Another significant patent by Perlin is for blast reducing structures. This invention comprises a first web and a second web, each with sections that define parallel planes. An energy-absorbing liquid is contained within a volume defined by these webs, allowing the structure to collapse in response to an impact pulse. This design effectively dissipates the force associated with impacts, making it a valuable innovation for safety applications.
