Fabrication and characterization of superhydrophobic silica nanotrees

Superhydrophobic silica nanotrees were obtained by sol–gel method with hybrid silica sol and jelly-like resorcinol formaldehyde resin. Rough surfaces were obtained by removing the organic polymer at high temperature. After the films with rough surface were modified by trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS), the wettability of the film changed from superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic. The surface roughness of the silica nanotrees film is about 20 nm, and it is transparent and superhydrophobic with a water contact angle higher than 150°.     

Self-assembled monolayers of dendron thiols for electrodeposition of gold nanostructures: toward fabrication of superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic surfaces and pH-responsive surfaces

This paper describes the fabrication of surfaces with different wettability, superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic, and pH-responsive properties. We used a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of a dendron thiol as the underlying surface for electrodeposition of gold nanostructures. After this modification with a SAM of n-dodecanethiol or 11-mercaptoundecanol, the surface shows remarkable superhydrophobic properties with a contact angle of about 155 degrees and a tilt angle of less than 2 degrees or superhydrophilic properties with a contact angle of about 0 degrees , respectively. Moreover, a large-scale pH-responsive surface was obtained by modification with 2-(11-mercaptoundecanamido)benzoic acid (7) (MUABA). The pH-responsive behavior was amplified by using rough surfaces.     

Formation of superhydrophobic surfaces by biomimetic silicification and fluorination

The amazing water repellency of many biological surfaces, exemplified by lotus leaves, has recently received a great deal of interest. These surfaces, called superhydrophobic surfaces, exhibit water contact angles larger than 150 degrees and a low contact angle hysteresis because of both their low surface energy and heterogeneously rough structures. In this paper, we suggest a biomimetic method, "biosilicification", for generating heterogeneously rough structures and fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces. The superhydrophobic surface was prepared by a combination of the formation of heterogeneously rough, nanosphere-like silica structures through biosilicification and the formation of self-assembled monolayers of fluorosilane on the surface. The resulting surface exhibited the water contact angle of 160.1 degrees and the very low water contact angle hysteresis of only 2.3 degrees, which are definite characteristics of superhydrophobic surfaces. The superhydrophobic property of our system probably resulted from the air trapped in the rough surface. The wetting behavior on the surface was in the heterogeneous regime, which was totally supported by Cassie-Baxter equation.     

A topography/chemical composition gradient polystyrene surface: toward the investigation of the relationship between surface wettability and surface structure and chemical composition

In this paper, we have prepared of a topography/chemical composition gradient polystyrene (PS) surface, i.e., an orthogonal gradient surface, to investigate the relationship between surface wettability and surface structure and chemical composition. The prepared surface shows a one-dimensional gradient in wettability in the x, y, and diagonal directions, including hydrophobic to hydrophilic, superhydrophobic to hydrophobic, superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic gradients, and so forth. These one-dimensional gradients have different gradient values, gradient range, and contact angle hysteresis, which lie on both the surface roughness and the surface compositions. From the trend of variation of contact angle hysteresis, it can be concluded that the transition from the Cassie's model to the Wenzel's model occurs both by decreasing surface roughness and by increasing surface hydrophilic compositions. Moreover, the transition is more effective via changing surface chemical composition than changing surface roughness herein.     

Facile Electrochemical Method for the Fabrication of Stable Corrosion-Resistant Superhydrophobic Surfaces on Zr-Based Bulk Metallic Glasses

Both surface microstructure and low surface energy modification play a vital role in the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study, a safe and simple electrochemical method was developed to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces of Zr-based metallic glasses with high corrosion resistance. First, micro–nano composite structures were generated on the surface of Zr-based metallic glasses by electrochemical etching in NaCl solution. Next, stearic acid was used to decrease surface energy. The effects of electrochemical etching time on surface morphology and wettability were also investigated through scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements. Furthermore, the influence of micro–nano composite structures and roughness on the wettability of Zr-based metallic glasses was analysed on the basis of the Cassie–Baxter model. The water contact angle of the surface was 154.3° ± 2.2°, and the sliding angle was <5°, indicating good superhydrophobicity. Moreover, the potentiodynamic polarisation test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggested excellent corrosion resistance performance, and the inhibition efficiency of the superhydrophobic surface reached 99.6%. Finally, the prepared superhydrophobic surface revealed excellent temperature-resistant and self-cleaning properties.     

Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Surface with Different Metal Films on Aluminum Alloy

A simple technique was developed for the fabrication of a superhydrophobic surface on the aluminum alloy sheets. Different hierarchical structures(Ag, Co, Ni and Zn) were formed on the aluminum surface by the galvanic replacement reactions. After the chemical modification of them with fluorination, the wettability of the surfaces was changed from superhydrophilicity to superhydrophobicity. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS) and water contact angle measurement were performed to characterize the morphological characteristic, chemical composition and superhydrophobicity of the surfaces. The as-prepared superhydrophobic surfaces showed a water contact angle as high as ca.160° and sliding angle as low as ca.3°. We hope the method to produce superhydrophobic surface can be used in many fields.     

Contact line and contact angle dynamics in superhydrophobic channels

The dynamics of the wetting and movement of a three-phase contact line confined between two superhydrophobic surfaces were studied using a mean-field free-energy lattice Boltzmann model. Principle features of superhydrophobic surfaces, such as trapped vapor/air between rough microstructures, high contact angles, reduced contact angle hysteresis, and low resistance to fluid flow, were all observed. Movement of the three-phase contact line over a well-patterned superhydrophobic surface displays a periodic stick-jump-slip behavior, while the dynamic contact angle changes accordingly from maximum to minimum. Two regimes were found for the flow velocity as a function of surface roughness and can be related directly to the balance between driving force and flow resistance. This work provides a better understanding of dynamic wetting and fluid flow behaviors over superhydrophobic surfaces and hence could be useful in related applications.     

Plasma Hydrophilization of Superhydrophobic Surface and Its Aging Behavior: The Effect of Micro/nanostructured Surface

Plasma treatment is a versatile tool for surface modifications, and plasma‐induced hydrophilicity has a well‐known aging behavior. In this paper, plasma hydrophilization and the subsequent aging behavior of superhydrophobic and hydrophobic surfaces are comparatively investigated. Static water contact angle measurement and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy show that, compared with the hydrophobic surface, the superhydrophobic surface requires more plasma dose to completely change its wettability even after considering the difference in their initial wettability, and the corresponding aging speed is also obviously retarded. A tentative model based on the surface micro/nanostructures is presented to explain the results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Influence of n-hexanol and n-octanol on wetting properties and air entrapment at superhydrophobic surfaces

Superhydrophobic surfaces have recently attracted a lot of attention due to their self-cleaning properties. The superhydrophobic surfaces used in our studies were prepared using a mixed inorganic-organic coating. In order to check how short chain surface active agents affect the surface energy of such surfaces, their wettability (sessile drop technique) and the kinetics of the three phase contact formation were studied. It was found that with increasing concentrations of n-hexanol and n-octanol the surface energy of these surfaces was only slightly changed, i.e. a small decrease in contact angle values with increasing solution concentration was detected. Even for the most concentrated n-hexanol and n-octanol solutions, the contact angles were in the range 145-155° and the drop rolled off, indicating that the studied surfaces stayed superhydrophobic. Air bubbles, upon collision with such superhydrophobic surfaces, spread over the superhydrophobic surface within milliseconds in the studied solutions.
