Increasing interests have been prevalent lately among the research fraternity for the development of superhydrophobic surfaces considering the favorable properties exuded by them. Recently, anti-microbial superhydrophobic coatings have been employed effectively in anti-biofouling, corrosion resistance, and self-cleaning, anti-reflecting coating, biomedical and cavitation erosion applications. Further, patterned topology by micro/nano surface texturing has been perceived as an engineering opportunity to enhance the surface performance and has opened various avenues for exploration. This work reports the recent research findings pertaining to the concept of superhydrophobicity and micro-texturing particularly in the context of their application for the impediment of corrosion in submerged components. The comprehensive review on superhydrophobic surfaces and micro-texturing suggests that the integrated application of these surface modification techniques for mechanical interlocking of deposited coating.
