Recent advances in designing superhydrophobic surfaces

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2013
International audienceThe interest in superhydrophobic surfaces has grown exponentially over recent decades. Since the lotus leaf dual hierarchical structure was discovered, researchers have investigated the foundations of selfcleaning behavior ...

Electrokinetics on superhydrophobic surfaces

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2012
On a superhydrophobic surface a liquid is exposed to a large air-water interface. The reduced wall friction is expected to cause a higher electro-osmotic mobility. On the other hand, the low charge density of a superhydrophobic surface reduces the electro-osmotic mobility.

BIOMIMETIC SUPERHYDROPHOBIC SURFACES

2014
Inspiration from nature has been widely used in the development of new materials and in the improvement of their properties. Superhydrophobic surfaces inspired in species present in nature with highly water repellent self-cleaning properties — such as the well-known lotus leaf — are interesting examples of the biomimetic approach for the development of

Mechanically Durable Superhydrophobic Surfaces

Advanced Materials, 2010
AbstractDevelopment 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, 2009
This 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, 2012
Two-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, 2008
Research 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 ...
