Fabrication Of Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology, 2008Superhydrophobicity has recently drawn a great deal of attention from both fundamental and practical application points of view. This paper summarizes the basic principles involved in creation of superhydrophobicity and reviews the diverse methods recently developed to make superhydrophobic surfaces and coatings.

Wettability of natural superhydrophobic surfaces
Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2014Since the description of the ‘Lotus Effect' by Barthlott and Neinhuis in 1997, the existence of superhydrophobic surfaces in the natural world has become common knowledge. Superhydrophobicity is associated with a number of possible evolutionary benefits that may be bestowed upon an organism, ranging from the ease of dewetting of their surfaces and ...

Adhesion behaviors on superhydrophobic surfaces
Chemical Communications, 2014The adhesion behaviors of superhydrophobic surfaces have become an emerging topic to researchers in various fields as a vital step in the interactions between materials and organisms/materials. Controlling the chemical compositions and topological structures via various methods or technologies is essential to fabricate and modulate different adhesion ...

Mechanically Durable Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Advanced Materials, 2010AbstractDevelopment of durable non‐wetting surfaces is hindered by the fragility of the microscopic roughness features that are necessary for superhydrophobicity. Mechanical wear on superhydrophobic surfaces usually shows as increased sticking of water, leading to loss of non‐wettability.

Patterned Superhydrophobic Metallic Surfaces
Langmuir, 2009This work shows that after creating certain dual scale roughness structures by femtosecond laser irradiation different metal alloys initially show superhydrophilic behavior with complete wetting of the structured surface. However, over time, these surfaces become nearly superhydrophobic with contact angles in the vicinity of 150 degrees and ...

Superhydrophobic Hierarchical Honeycomb Surfaces
Langmuir, 2012Two-dimensional hexagonally ordered honeycomb surfaces have been created by solvent casting polybutadiene films under controlled humidity. Subsequent CF(4) plasmachemical fluorination introduces cross-linking and surface texturing, leading to hierarchical surfaces with roughness on both the 10 μm (honeycomb) and micrometer (texturing) length scales ...

Progess in superhydrophobic surface development
Soft Matter, 2008Research into extreme water-repellent surfaces began many decades ago, although it was only relatively recently that the term superhydrophobicity appeared in literature. Here we review the work on the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces, with focus on the different techniques used and how they have developed over the years, with particular focus ...

Conversion of a Metastable Superhydrophobic Surface to an Ultraphobic Surface
Langmuir, 2008Superhydrophobic surfaces in Wenzel and metastable wetting state were prepared and the conversion of such surfaces to ultraphobic surfaces was reported by the application of a fine-scale roughness. Silicon nitride substrates with hexagonally arranged pillars were prepared by micromachining.

Superhydrophobic surfaces: From natural to biomimetic to functional
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2011Nature is the creation of aesthetic functional systems, in which many natural materials have vagarious structures. Inspired from nature, such as lotus leaf, butterfly' wings, showing excellent superhydrophobicity, scientists have recently fabricated a lot of biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces by virtue of various smart and easy routes.
