Development of sustainable superhydrophobic coatings on aluminum substrate using magnesium nanoparticles for enhanced catalytic activity, self-cleaning, and corrosion resistance

Fabrication of a sustainable superhydrophobic surface of Ag-NPs@SA on copper alloy for corrosion resistance, photocatalysis, and simulated distribution of Ag atoms

“…For the UV-visible testing, the 3.5 ml solution mixture of Congo red was collected in a cuvette from stock solution where 0.1 ml of H 2 O 2 was already mixed, and then the cuvette containing the solution was transferred into the UV-visible machine. 43…”

“…The border lines of surface roughness of the superhydrophobic surface were similar to the severity values and followed Boscher's findings. 43 The Gaussian surface along with symmetric shape distribution, S sk equals zero. The differences in the S sk values of different substrate sheets are shown in Table 1; 0.72, 1.22, 1.89, and 3.50 present this conclusion.…”

Trifolium repens L.-Like Periodic Micronano Structured Superhydrophobic Surface with Ultralow Ice Adhesion for Efficient Anti-Icing/Deicing

“…However, droplets can easily penetrate through an air cushion above the microstructures at low temperature and fully infiltrate into the interiors of the microcrater structure, which triggers the transition of droplets from a Cassie–Baxter state to a Wenzel state, consequently leading to the ice self-locking phenomenon. − The ice self-locking problem will increase the ice adhesion strength and inhibit anti-icing/deicing properties of the superhydrophobic surface. Furthermore, the wear resistance of a superhydrophobic surface is generally poor . The micronano structure is easily destroyed with the increase of icing times, which makes it difficult to satisfy the need of multiple use and limits its practical application in the field of anti-icing and deicing. , Therefore, it remains a challenge to design a superhydrophobic surface with a relatively stable Cassie–Baxter state as well as endow it with ultralow ice adhesion strength and outstanding mechanical durability in extremely cold and humid regions.…”

Preparation and Characterization of Modified ZrO2/SiO2/Silicone-Modified Acrylic Emulsion Superhydrophobic Coating

“…These applications demand coatings that resist acids and bases, exhibit anti-icing efficiency, and maintain self-cleaning attributes. To address these challenges, the researchers prepared superhydrophobic coatings with excellent acid and alkali resistance, ice resistance and selfcleaning capability by adding nanoparticles such as SiO 2 [28,29], TiO 2 [30,31], ZnO [32,33], Fe 3 O 4 [34,35] and Al 2 O 3 [36,37] to various polymer matrices. Yang et al [38] synthesized a superhydrophobic coating by combining ZrO 2 with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).…”
