Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Ni-Co-BN Nanocomposite Coatings by Two-Step Jet Electrodeposition
The stability of hydrophobic surface has an important influence on the application of superhydrophobic function. The destruction of hydrophobic micro-nano structures on the material surface is the main factor leading to the loss of superhydrophobic ...

Superhydrophobicity on Hairy Surfaces [PDF]
We investigate the wetting properties of surfaces patterned with fine elastic hairs, with an emphasis on identifying superhydrophobic states on hydrophilic hairs. We formulate a two dimensional model of a large drop in contact with a row of equispaced elastic hairs and, by minimising the free energy of the model, identify the stable and metastable ...

A Thermochromic Superhydrophobic Surface [PDF]
AbstractHighly enhanced solid-state thermochromism is observed in regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene), P3HT, when deposited on a superhydrophobic polymer-SiO2 nanocomposite coating. The conformal P3HT coating on the nanocomposite surface does not alter or reduce superhydrophicity while maintaining its reversible enhanced thermochromism.
