The plasma spraying Al2O3+13wt. %TiO2 ceramic coating was coated with organic-inorganic hybrid emulsion. The hybrid emulsion prepared through co-hydrolysis and copolycondensation reactions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), and methylsilicone resin was added in the emulsion to improve the film-forming properties. The morphologies, chemical compositions and hydrophobicity of the resulting surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 3-dimensional stereoscopic microscope, energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX), Fourier transfer infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and water contact angle measurement. When the mole ratio of TEOS/MTES and the weight ratio of methylsilicone resin were 1:1 and 3.5wt. %, respectively, this surface displayed good film-forming properties. The contact angle was 130.24°, and the contact angle hysteresis was less than 10°.
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.
