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 Metal Surface
2021Demands of metals in automobiles, construction, aerospace, and other applications have increased because of their texture, strength, and flexibility; however, undesired corrosion makes their applications limited to a certain period. Although several methods like painting, cathodic deposition, and the creation of alloys have been developed in the recent

Transformation of a Simple Plastic into a Superhydrophobic Surface
Science, 2003Superhydrophobic surfaces are generally made by controlling the surface chemistry and surface roughness of various expensive materials, which are then applied by means of complex time-consuming processes. We describe a simple and inexpensive method for forming a superhydrophobic coating using polypropylene (a simple polymer) and a suitable selection of

Electrically Tunable Superhydrophobic Nanostructured Surfaces
ASME 4th International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels, Parts A and B, 2005In this work, we discuss dynamic electrical control of the wetting behavior of liquids on nanostructured surfaces spanning the entire possible range from superhydrophobic behavior to nearly complete wetting. It is demonstrated that a droplet of liquid can be reversibly switched between the superhydrophobic “rolling ball” state and the hydrophilic ...

Superhydrophobicity for Antifouling Microfluidic Surfaces
2012Fouling of surfaces is often problematic in microfluidic devices, particularly when using protein or -enzymatic solutions. Various coating methods have been investigated to reduce the tendency for protein molecules to adsorb, mostly relying on hydrophobic surface chemistry or the antifouling ability of -polyethylene glycol.

Electro-(de)wetting on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Langmuir, 2013Usually, electrowetting on superhydrophobic surfaces (EWOSS) is generated by application of an alternating current signal and often leads to droplet impalement into the structuration. To avoid this phenomenon, superhydrophobic surfaces must show robustness to high pressure.

Nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces
Journal of Materials Science, 2005A 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).
