Fabrication And Superhydrophobic Behavior Of Fluorinated Silica Nanosphere Arrays

Superhydrophobic Surface Fabricated from Fatty Acid-Modified Precipitated Calcium Carbonate

“…Bhushan and co-workers constructed hierarchical roughness and investigated the relation between roughness parameters and contact angle. Hsieh et al reported a modified Cassie−Baxter model to investigate the influence of particle size on the superhydrophobic behavior of silica nanosphere arrays. There has been much attention paid to the formation mechanism of contact angle hysteresis that can be evaluated with the difference between the advancing water contact angle (AWCA) and the receding water contact angle (RWCA) or the difference of their cosine values. − The latter was thought to be more sensitive to the variation of the sliding angle of the rolling-off water drop, especially at low contact angle range.…”

Development of Laser Induced Hierarchical Surface Structures on Ti-6Al-4V using short and ultra-short pulsed lasers for modified wettability applications

“…The multilayer is usually made by immersing the substrate into the solution of particles or spin-coating the solution onto the substrate. [60,61] Examples of rough surfaces made by this technique include the formation of multilayered crystal structures prepared by spin-coating of monodispersed silica particles of approximately 70 nm diameter [62]. The thickness of the colloidal crystals could be controlled by adjusting speed and time of spin-coating, giving place to a silicon nano-pillars array.…”
