A Markedly Cntrollable Adhesion of Superhydrophobic Sponge-like Nanostructure TiO2 Films

Lai Y., Lin C., Huang J., Zhuang H., Sunb L., Nguyen T., Xiamen University, CN

A method consisting of electrochemical anodization and self-assembling of hydrophobic-hydrophilic mixture has been employed to fabricate superhydrophobic sponge-like nanostructured TiO2 surfaces with remarkably controllable adhesion. Water adhesion ranged from ultra-low (5.0 N) to very high [...]

Hypertransparent Nanostructured Superhydrophobic Self-Cleaning Coatings on Glass Substrates

Jiang Y.D., Smalley Y., Paris H., Hunt A.T., nGimat Co., US

Self-cleaning surfaces have wide applications in architectural and automotive windows and solar panels, etc. The development of superhydrophobic surfaces was inspired by observation of lotus and other plant leaves. Many existing hydrophobic coatings either have [...]

Engineering superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces

Tuteja A., Choi W., Mabry J.M., McKinley G.H., Cohen R.E., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

The combination of surface chemistry and roughness on multiple scales imbues enhanced repellency to the lotus leaf surface when in contact with a high surface tension liquid such as water. This understanding has led to [...]

Intrinsic Effects of Materials on Superhydrophobicity of Polymer Replicas from Nature

Lee S.M., Kwon T.H., Pohang University Science and Technology, KR

The present work suggests a mass-producible and large scale fabrication method of superhydrophobic polymeric surfaces by means of material processing equipments which can maximize productivity and cost effectiveness. We fabricated two types of polymeric lotus [...]
