Nano self-cleaning

international journal of engineering technology and management sciences, 2023
Nano self-cleaning system review is presented in this paper. To achieve superhydrophobicity on a surface, it needs to be both rough and possess low surface energy. In this study, paraffin wax nanoparticles were used to create a hierarchically structured surface on cotton fabric, resulting in a superhydrophobic surface.
