We describe the formation of superhydrophobic surfaces by controlling the surface roughness using some simple processing methods, such as annealing at 120 °C, freeze-drying at -40 °C and composite film preparation. The root-mean-square (rms) roughness and the water contact angle values of untreated poly(3,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
