Durable, self-cleaning and superhydrophobic bamboo timber surfaces based on TiO 2 films combined with fluoroalkylsilane

Fabrication of Hydrophobic Indonesia Bamboo Modified by Octa Fluoro 1-Pentanol (OFP) Based on TiO2 Thin Film for Self-cleaning Application

“…In this study, the XRD characterization was done on pure and TiO 2 -coated bamboo. Figure 4a shows emerging diffraction peaks at 15.65 0 and 21.71 0 indicating crystal phase of cellulose on pure bamboo [17]. This result proves that inside the bamboo contained cellulose [17].…”

“…They prepared it by the hydrothermal deposition of anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles followed by octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) modification [14]. In another study, Jingpeng et al [17] were successfully fabricated durable, self-cleaning and superhydrophobic bamboo timber surface using (heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetradecyl) trimethoxysilane [CF 3 (CF 2 ) 7 CH 2 CH 2 Si(OCH 3 ) 3 ] (FAS-17) as modifier agent on TiO 2 anatase film [17]. Jingpeng et al [18] also studied the fabrication of robust superhydrophobic bamboo using the same method and modifier agent (FAS 17) but different inorganic compound.…”

“…Bamboo specimens were subsequently placed into the reaction solution. The autoclave was kept in an oven at 90°C for 5 h. Finally, the samples were removed from the solution, washed with distilled water, and dried at 80 °C for more than 24 h in the oven [17].…”

“…In the initial solution there are a number of [TiF 6 ] 2ions, H + ions and H 2 O molecules. All main reactions took place are as follows [17]:…”

“…Figure 4a shows emerging diffraction peaks at 15.65 0 and 21.71 0 indicating crystal phase of cellulose on pure bamboo [17]. This result proves that inside the bamboo contained cellulose [17]. Figure 4b shows the diffraction peaks at 2θ values of 15.69 0 , 22.13 0 , 25.06 0 , 36.24 0 and 47.6 0 which are attributed to the anatase TiO 2 crystals (JCPDS cards: 21-1272), respectively.…”
