Slippery surfaces provide a new way to solve the adhesion problem. This protocol describes how to fabricate slippery surfaces at high temperatures. The results demonstrate that the slippery surfaces showed anti-wetting for liquids and a remarkable anti-adhesion effect on soft tissues at high temperatures.

Presented here is a procedure for measuring fundamental material properties through micromechanical tension testing. Described are the methods for micro-tensile specimen fabrication (allowing rapid micro-specimen fabrication from bulk material volumes by combining photolithography, chemical etching, and focused ion beam milling), indenter tip modification, and micromechanical tension testing (including an example).

Source: Roberto Leon, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA Hardness testing is one of the most universally valuable mechanical tests available to engineers, as it is both simple and relatively inexpensive for the wealth of information and data it produces. Hardness testing, generally in the form of a surface penetration test, is both quicker and less destructive than tensile testing. Hardness provides a linear relationship with tensile strength over a...
FAQs
The chromium-rich passive oxide layer forms a barrier that reduces chemical attack on the underlying steel. This mechanism helps the sleeve retain its structural function when it surrounds an instrument, component, or tissue-contacting assembly. Its corrosion resistance is especially relevant in controlled biological workflows where the covering may encounter handling, cleaning, or operating conditions over repeated use.
Rigidity limits bending, helping the sleeve maintain the position and alignment of the component it surrounds. A smooth surface reduces opportunities for abrasion and can make cleaning or sterilization more practical when the design and steel grade permit those processes. Together, these properties support consistent handling and reduce mechanical damage to small biological assemblies.
Adding the sleeve creates a rigid barrier between the protected component and surrounding materials. That barrier can reduce exposure to handling damage and abrasion while helping preserve alignment during placement or operation. Without such support, the component lacks the sleeve’s dedicated structural covering, so the assembly may be more directly exposed to forces or contact that the sleeve is designed to limit.
The hollow geometry allows the sleeve to surround a probe, cannula, tube, or similar component without replacing the component’s internal function. Its rigid wall helps limit bending as the assembly is handled or positioned, which supports stable alignment. This is important when a small device must remain oriented consistently during placement or subsequent operation.
They are useful when a biological instrument or small device needs protection during placement or operation. Surrounding a probe, cannula, or tube can limit handling damage, reduce abrasion against surrounding materials, and help maintain alignment. In biomedical research, this makes the sleeve relevant to controlled workflows involving protected, tissue-contacting, or otherwise delicate device assemblies.
A sleeve may be cleaned or sterilized when its design and steel grade permit those processes. The smooth surface can support that handling, while corrosion resistance helps preserve the covering across controlled laboratory or clinical-device workflows. Reusability is therefore a practical advantage, but suitability depends on the specific construction rather than on the material name alone.
