One-step processing to fabricate highly transparent superhydrophobic surface via granuliform silica aerogels Bi Xu1,a *, Jingjing Ge1,b and Zaisheng Cai1,c 1College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Donghua University, Shanghai, China 201620 axubi@dhu.edu.cn, bsunnyjingge@163.com, czshcai@dhu.edu.cn Keywords: Superhydrophobicity, Transparency, Silica aerogel.
The effect of ageing on the wettability, microstructure morphology and chemical structure of the dried gels has been investigated.
The chemical structure of the aerogels was characterized by an infrared spectrometer (ATR-IR, Nicolet Avatar380).
Meanwhile, the pore structure collapses and small particles firmly connect with each other within the xerogel.
SEM and TEM images indicate that the ageing of the alcogel would provide the aerogel with a very porous 3D network structure while the xerogel without ageing shows large clusters and voids within its structure.

The cyclic peptides self-assembly design flexibly and synthesis easy and exhibits structural and functional properties suitable for various applications in chemistry, biology and materials science [2-4].
Early in 1974, De Santis predicted the possibility of forming cylindrical structures from D, L-cyclic peptides on the basis of investigation of liner polypeptides [5].
The four dimers represent four types of channel structures.
The optimized dimers structures are shown in Fig. 3.
By comparing the structure of H-bonds, we can conclude that the α-α dimers are more stable than the γ-γ dimers due to the side-chain groups tilting to γ-Acc face.

Structure of the HT-HP processed Si:N and Si:O samples was determined by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
Typical structures of Si:N processed at 1400 K are presented in Figs 1 and 2.
Typical structures of Si:O processed at 1400 K are shown in Figs 7,8.
This aSi layer contains also nitrogen (the Si:N structures) or oxygen (the Si:O structures).

This is due to the simple structure of cellulose that only consists of glucose chain with higher number of the hydroxyl groups compared to the structure of sawdust which consits of other complex polysaccharides.
This might due to the highly crystalline structure of the untreated cellulose compared to the amorphous structure of the treated cellulose.
At this magnification, only the surface structures can be clearly seen but not the porosity of the samples.

Amorphous silicate gel and phosphates as intermediate products of glass structure decomposition are formed.
FTIR (Digilab apparatus) was used to control changes in the glass structure.
Changes on the glass surface caused by the action of this solution during various time periods were traced by means of SEM, and the surface chemistry was determined by the EDS method.
Leachability depends on the strength of oxygen bridges, binding components in the structure of glass [10,11].
Places enriched in SiO2 and aggregates of new formed grains of amorphous silica containing K, Ca, and P are the products of degradation of glass structure.

The optimal condition for the formation of ordered structure occurs at an appropriate voltage, which can be explained by the volume expansion of the aluminum during anodic oxidation [5].
The inverted images show well a domain structure, where the domains are surrounded with distorted nanopore cells, i.e., defects.
The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern reveals that PT nanotubes are polycrystalline and have a tetragonal structure (P4/mmm, a=3.899 Å and c=4.153 Å) [JCPDS # 06-0452].

In the reported of home and abroad nowadays, it can be seen that the modification materials of TiO2 mostly using the porous and activity adsorption materials such as zeolite, activated carbon, glass fiber, the synthesized materials that had structure of nanometer channel and so on[1-5].
The resource reserves of serpentine were very rich and had great applied potential and it was suitable for being carrier as its fine fibrous structure .

Summary （1）The serpentine has fine fibrous structure which make the bigger specific surface area and better adsorption properties.After the serpentine was modified it can be a goog load material
It was found that using modified serpentine as carrier can improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 because of its fine fibrous structure which make bigger specific surface area of modified TiO2.Also, TiO2/modified serpentine photocatalyst has a very good recycling performance.

Recently, microfluidics have been emerging as a key technology in miniaturization of analytical chemistry.
This paper details the fabrication process using SU-8 photoresist mold which provides high aspect ratio structures and the RIE bonding of PDMS and glass substrate.
The detailed size parameters of the SU-8 structure are also described in the Figure.
Because of the small adhesion between the PDMS and the SU-8, after curing, the PDMS layer with inverse structures having been transferred from the SU-8 mold can be peeled off easily.
A good structure of the microfludic chip was obtained with no leakage phenomenon.
