Nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces

Journal of Materials Science, 2005
A study on superhydrophobic silica surfaces based on roughness created by assembling different nanostructured materials was reported. Four different surface structures were created on a silica base material, which was subsequently covered with a self-assembled monolayer of tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2- tetrahydrooctyldimethylchlorosilane (TFCS).

Biomimetic Superhydrophobic Surfaces

Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology, 2013
Lotus leaves are well known to be superhydrophobic and self-cleaning due to the hierarchical roughness of the leaf surfaces. The surfaces with controllable wettability may bring great advantages in a wide variety of applications and have received tremendous attention in recent years.

Sticky superhydrophobic surface

Applied Physics Letters, 2007
The authors present a simple and inexpensive method for fabricating a stable superhydrophobic engineering material surface using aluminum alloy and a suitable aqueous solution and time to control the surface roughness, which has a large water contact angle (>150°) and a large water sliding angle (>90°).

Wettability of natural superhydrophobic surfaces

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2014
Since 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 ...

Passive Anti-Flooding Superhydrophobic Surfaces

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019
Superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces can provide high condensation heat transfer due to facilitated droplet removal. However, such high performance has been limited to low supersaturation conditions due to surface flooding. Here, we quantify flooding resistance defined as the rate of increase in the fraction of water-filled cavities with respect to the ...

Superhydrophobic Surfaces from Various Polypropylenes

Langmuir, 2008
Superhydrophobic surfaces were prepared from solutions of isotactic polypropylenes of various molecular weights using soft chemistry. Varying the conditions of the experiments (polymer concentration and initial amount of the coated solution) allowed us to optimize the superhydrophobic behavior of the polymer film.
