Preparation and Anti-frost Performance of PDMS-SiO2/SS Superhydrophobic Coating [PDF]
Coatings, 2020 Polydimethylsiloxane modified SiO2/organic silicon sol (PDMS-SiO2/SS) hybrid coating was synthesized via a simple two-step modification route. The nanoparticles (NPs) of PDMS-SiO2 were synthesized through a high temperature dehydration reaction by using silica and excessive PDMS. The NPs lapped with each other and formed a branch and tendril structure.
