For the first time a superhydrophobic coating based on carbon nano-onions (multilayer fullerenes) synthesized through a cheap and technological method was obtained. Two simple and easily reproducible techniques of application were suggested. An opportunity of using the coating to control the composition and humidity of air was explored. Anti-icing properties were researched.
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.
