Patent ID: 8256502

Claim:
A heat exchange member comprising a liquid layer and a solid layer capable of conducting a heat exchange reaction with the liquid layer upon their solid-liquid contact at an interface between the solid layer and the liquid layer, wherein said solid layer further comprises, on a surface thereof which is contacted with the liquid layer, a surface coating layer capable of reducing a difference of the vibration between a thermal vibration of the solid and a thermal vibration of the liquid, said surface coating layer comprises a plurality of fibrous structures aligned on a surface of the solid layer; said fibrous structures each has one end which is fixed on a surface of the solid layer and another end which is a free end and is contacting with the liquid layer, and are aligned independently with each other, a distance between the adjacent fibrous structures is substantially the same as a distance between molecules of the liquid constituting the liquid layer, and a length of said fibrous structures is identical with or is not less than an average intermolecular distance between molecules of the liquid constituting the liquid layer.
