Superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2012 Superhydrophobicity – also known as water repellency – has recently attracted considerable attention because of its numerous potential applications. However, the fundamental concepts and equations describing the wettability of superhydrophobic surfaces ...

Design of robust superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]
Nature, 2020 The ability of superhydrophobic surfaces to stay dry, self-clean and avoid biofouling is attractive for applications in biotechnology, medicine and heat transfer1-10. Water droplets that contact these surfaces must have large apparent contact angles (greater than 150 degrees) and small roll-off angles (less than 10 degrees).

Research Progress of Preparation and Self-Cleaning Anticorrosion Properties of Superhydrophobic Graphene-Based Materials [PDF]
Cailiao Baohu, 2022 Superhydrophobic surfaces have a contact angle(CA) greater than 150° and a sliding angle(SA) smaller than 10°, which can prevent water from penetrating into the structure under dynamic impacts, and thus can be used in high-end fields such ...

Superhydrophobicity on Hairy Surfaces [PDF]
Langmuir, 2010 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]
Scientific Reports, 2016 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.

Progress in Non-Traditional Processing for Fabricating Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Micromachines, 2021 When the water droplets are on some superhydrophobic surfaces, the surface only needs to be inclined at a very small angle to make the water droplets roll off.
