- The
nanobody 50 b may include, for example, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanowires, nanoparticles, nanospheres, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing nanobodies. More specifically, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, Si nanowire, ZnO nanowire, Cu nanowire, GaN nanowire, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing, may be used. - The
nanobody 50 b may have at least one dimension in the nano-scale range, i.e., about 1 to less than about 1,000 nm. Thenanobody 50 b may have a diameter of, for example, about 1 nm to about 1,000 nm, and where thenanobody 50 b is asymmetrical a second (length) dimension of about 0.01 μm to about 1,000 μm. When thenanobody 50 b has a diameter and a length within the above ranges, dispersibility of thenanobody 50 b within the matrix may be improved and a protrusion structure, i.e., a structure having protrusions from the coated surface, may be readily formed when forming the surface coating layer. - The composite 50 may include the
nanobody 50 b dispersed in thematrix 50 a, and it may be formed by, for example, spray coating, dip coating, or the like, such that thematrix 50 a is coated on the surface of thenanobody 50 b as shown inFIG. 3 , when coating on a surface of thebase material 100. - Where the
nanobody 50 b is included in a predetermined amount or more, thesurface coating layer 120 may further have a mesh structure having a plurality ofpores 60. By forming such a mesh structure, stress in the structure may be reduced and durability may be increased. The pores may have an average largest cross-sectional dimension (i.e., diameter) of about 1 nm to about 10 μm, where the pores are smaller than the thickness of thesurface coating layer 120 or that of any sublayer. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , thesurface coating layer 120 includes a lowercomposite layer 120 a contacting a surface of the base material (not shown), and an uppercomposite layer 120 b on, and in some exemplary embodiments, directly on and contacting, a surface of the lowercomposite layer 120 a. The lowercomposite layer 120 a and the uppercomposite layer 120 b each has a different content by volume of thenanobody 50 b. Thenanobody 50 b may be the same or different in eachcomposite layer - In the
surface coating layer 120, thermal conductivity and water repellency of the composite 50 may be varied according to the amount of thenanobody 50 b. To reduce the formation rate of frost on the surface of the heat exchanger or to rapidly remove formed frost, thermal conductivity of thesurface coating layer 120 should be high (e.g., about 1 W/m·K or more). Simultaneously, water repellency, as shown by water contact angle, where high water contact angles for the surface coating layer of about 145 degrees or more, more specifically about 150 degrees or more, and still more specifically about 152 degrees or more, indicate very low wettability. Similarly, a low sliding angle of about 8 degrees or less, specifically about 6 degrees or less, and still more specifically about 5 degrees or less, also indicate low wettability, and hence, excellent water repellency. - The thermal conductivity and water repellency of the
surface coating layer 120 may be varied by adjusting the amount by volume of thenanobody 50 b included in the composite 50. - In an exemplary embodiment, thermal conductivity and water repellency may be simultaneously improved by forming the
surface coating layer 120 with a plurality of composite layers, each having a different amount of thenanobody 50 b. - Specifically, the lower
composite layer 120 a is a part contacting thebase material 100 and includes thenanobody 50 b in a first amount so as to improve thermal conductivity of thesurface coating layer 120. The lowercomposite layer 120 a may have higher thermal conductivity than the uppercomposite layer 120 b. Lowercomposite layer 120 a may have thermal conductivity of about 1 W/m·K or more, specifically about 10 W/m·K or more, and more specifically about 25 W/m·K or more. - The upper
composite layer 120 b is a part contacting the lowercomposite layer 120 a with the opposite surface exposed to the air, and it may include thenanobody 50 b in a second amount so as to increase water repellency at the air-lower composite layer 120 b interface. - This is explained referring to
FIG. 6A toFIG. 7 . -
FIG. 6A is a graph showing contact angle according to nanobody content by volume,FIG. 6B is a graph showing sliding angle according to nanobody content by volume, andFIG. 7 is a graph showing thermal conductivities according to nanobody content by volume. - Referring to
FIG. 6A andFIG. 6B , it may be seen that contact angles and sliding angles may be varied according to nanobody content, based on volume of the composite. The contact angle and the sliding angle are indicative of wettability at the solid surface, wherein a higher contact angle indicates lower wettability, and hence high hydrophobicity and water repellency, and a lower sliding angle indicates lower wettability, and hence high hydrophobicity and water repellency. - Referring to
FIG. 6A andFIG. 6B , the uppercomposite layer 120 b may include thenanobody 50 b in an amount of about 12 to about 25 volume %, specifically about 15 to about 25 volume %, and more specifically about 17 to about 22 volume %, based on the total volume of the composite 50. The contact angle is preferably about 150° or more and the sliding angle is about 5° or less. Within the above range, the uppercomposite layer 120 b may include thenanobody 50 b in an amount of about 20 volume % based on the total volume of the composite 50. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , it may be seen that as the nanobody content increases, thermal conductivity increases. The lowercomposite layer 120 a may thus include thenanobody 50 b in an amount of about 30 to about 45 volume %, and specifically about 35 to about 45 volume %, based on the total volume of the composite 50 so as to have higher thermal conductivity than the uppercomposite layer 120 b. Within the above range, the lowercomposite layer 120 a may include thenanobody 50 b in an amount of about 40 volume % based on the total volume of the composite 50. - As described, the lower
composite layer 120 a of thesurface coating layer 120, which contacts thebase material 100, may therefore include about 30 to 45 volume % of thenanobody 50 b so as to improve thermal conductivity, and the uppercomposite layer 120 b that contacts the air may therefore include about 15 to 25 volume % of thenanobody 50 b so as to increase water repellency. - In this way, formation of frost on the surface (i.e., on the surface coating layer) may be reduced or prevented, or any formed frost may be removed, by simultaneously increasing thermal conductivity and water repellency of the heat exchanger.
- Hereinafter, the stacking structure of the
surface coating layer 120 according to another exemplary embodiment will be explained referring toFIG. 5 together withFIG. 2 andFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of the stacking structure of thesurface coating layer 120 ofFIG. 3 . - Referring to
FIG. 5 , thesurface coating layer 120 includes a lowercomposite layer 120 a and an uppercomposite layer 120 b each having different contents by volume of thenanobody 50 b, and a middlecomposite layer 120 ab that is positioned between surfaces of the lowercomposite layer 120 a and the uppercomposite layer 120 b and includes thenanobody 50 b with a gradually changing content, which decreases from an interface with the lowercomposite layer 120 a to an interface with the uppercomposite layer 120 b along a thickness dimension of the middlecomposite layer 120 ab. As used herein, “gradually changing content” means a concentration gradient of the nanobody based on the volume of the composite for the middlecomposite layer 120 ab from the interface with the lowercomposite layer 120 a to the interface with the uppercomposite layer 120 b, decreasing along the dimension of layer thickness from the lowercomposite layer 120 a, to the uppercomposite layer 120 b. - The lower
composite layer 120 a and the uppercomposite layer 120 b are as explained above. - The middle
composite layer 120 ab may include thenanobody 50 b with a gradually changing content by volume between the amount by volume of thenanobody 50 b included in the lowercomposite layer 120 a and the amount by volume of thenanobody 50 b included in the uppercomposite layer 120 b. In the drawing, for better comprehension and ease of description, the lowercomposite layer 120 a, the middlecomposite layer 120 ab, and the uppercomposite layer 120 b are separately explained, but the amount by volume of thenanobody 50 b may be continuously changed without a boundary where the amount by volume ofnanobody 50 b changes sharply with no apparent gradient at the interface between the lowercomposite layer 120 a and the middlecomposite layer 120 ab, and between the middlecomposite layer 120 ab and the uppercomposite layer 120 b. - The composite 50 may further include an additive such as a cross-linking agent, a catalyst, and the like, in addition to the
matrix 50 a and thenanobody 50 b. - The cross-linking agent may cure the surface coating layer through a cross-linking reaction with the polymer forming the
matrix 50 a. The cross-linking agent may include, for example, a silane-based compound, a SiH bond-containing organohydrosiloxane-based compound, and the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing. - The silane-based compound may include an alkoxysilane, an aminosilane, a vinylsilane, an epoxysilane, a (meth)acrylsilane, an alkylsilane, a phenylsilane, a chlorosilane, and the like. It will be understood that, as used herein, “(meth)acryl” includes both methacryl and acryl and may represent either of these.
- Examples of the SiH bond-containing organohydrogensiloxane-based compound may include pentamethyltrihydrogencyclotetrasiloxane, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, tris(hydrogendimethylsiloxy)methylsilane, tris(hydrogendimethylsiloxy)phenylsilane, methylhydrogencyclopolysiloxane, a methylhydrogensiloxane.dimethylsiloxane cyclic copolymer, a methylhydrogenpolysiloxane including end-capping trimethylsiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a dimethylsiloxane.methylhydrogensiloxane copolymer including end-capping trimethylsiloxy groups at both terminal ends, dimethylpolysiloxane including end-capping dimethylhydrogensiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a dimethylsiloxane.methylhydrogensiloxane copolymer including end-capping dimethylhydrogensiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a methylhydrogensiloxane.diphenylsiloxane copolymer including end-capping trimethylsiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a methylhydrogensiloxane.diphenylsiloxane.dimethylsiloxane copolymer including end-capping trimethylsiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a methylhydrogensiloxane.methylphenylsiloxane.dimethylsiloxane copolymer including end-capping trimethylsiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a methylhydrogensiloxane.dimethylsiloxane.diphenylsiloxane copolymer including end-capping dimethylhydrogensiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a methylhydrogensiloxane.dimethylsiloxane.methylphenylsiloxane copolymer including end-capping dimethylhydrogensiloxy groups at both terminal ends, a copolymer including a (CH3)2HSiO1/2 unit, a (CH3)3SiO1/2 unit, and a SiO4/2 unit, a copolymer including a (CH3)2HSiO1/2 unit and a SiO4/2 unit, and a copolymer including a (CH3)2HSiO1/2 unit, a SiO4/2 unit, and a (C6H5)3SiO1/2 unit. Combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing units may be included.
- The cross-linking agent may be included in an amount of about 1 to 200 parts by weight, specifically 10 to 100 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the matrix.
- The catalyst when included promotes a cross-linking reaction of the polymer forming the
matrix 50 a. Various metal and non-metal catalysts may be used therefor. - As the catalyst, for example, tin, titanium, zirconium, lead, iron, cobalt, antimony, manganese, bismuth, zinc, alloys thereof, compounds thereof, or combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing may be used in the case that the cross-linking reaction of the polymer is a condensation type reaction. Similarly for example platinum, palladium, rhodium, alloys thereof, compounds thereof, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing may be used in the case that the cross-linking reaction of the polymer is an addition type reaction.
- The composite may be coated on the surface of the
base material 100 and cured to form thesurface coating layer 120. - The coating may be performed, for example, by spin coating, spray coating, laminating, dip coating, flow coating, roll coating, screen printing, and the like. Since the
surface coating layer 120 includes a plurality of composite layers, each having different contents by volume of thenanobody 50 b as explained above, a composite layer including a first content of thenanobody 50 b may be coated to a predetermined thickness, and then a composite layer including a second content of thenanobody 50 b may be coated thereon to a predetermined thickness. - The curing may be performed by thermal curing at a temperature below a deformation temperature of the
base material 100, photo curing, or a combination thereof. - The thickness of the
surface coating layer 120 may be varied according to the shape and dimensions of thebase material 100. The surface coating layer may have a thickness of about 0.5 μm to 100 μm. Among them, the uppercomposite layer 120 b may have a thickness of about 100 nm to 1 μm, with the balance of the thickness of the surface coating layer met by the lower composite layer, or lower and middle composite layer combined. - The
surface coating layer 120 may have a protrusion structure wherein one end of the randomly arrangednanobody 50 b protrudes outside (i.e., toward the air interface) and the shape of the surface is irregular. Such a protrusion structure may further decrease contact area of thesurface coating layer 120 to water, in concert with the low slide angle and high contact angle, to further improve water repellency. - While this invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
