A facile dip-coating process for preparing highly durable superhydrophobic surface with multi-scale structures on paint films

Superhydrophobic surfaces for corrosion protection: a review of recent progresses and future directions

“…When a strong bonding is established between nanoparticles and resins, the mechanical durability of the coating can be significantly improved. 91,92 Using epoxy adhesives, SiO 2 nanoparticles were anchored on a sand-blasted rough epoxy coating. The surface hydrophobicity of the coating can be largely retained even after a 250 min scouring test with water stream at 10 m/s.…”

“…The surface hydrophobicity of the coating can be largely retained even after a 250 min scouring test with water stream at 10 m/s. 91 Another benefit of nanocomposite coatings comes from the diversity of nanoparticles through which the mechanical, electrical, optical, and other properties of the coatings can be conveniently tuned. 42 …”

Implementation of diverse non-centrosymmetric layer concepts for tuning the interface activity of a magnesium alloy

“…Tuning the composition of the gas phase and further optimizing the parameters guiding the energy impact during the laser treatment will contribute to increasing the performance of these layers. In comparison with PECVD or high-energy laser [22] processes the application of liquid formulations by dipping or spraying facilitates a less elaborate or milder surface functionalization, resulting in thinner layers allowing for instance the modification of nanostructured substrates [33,34]. Concerning the approaches based on wet processes, the investigated natural biopolymer mixtures containing laccase and maltodextrin, as well as the synthetic amphiphilic polymers optimized for the application on aluminum alloys [35], showed multi-metal effectivity evidenced by a fast adsorption on AM50 surfaces, resulting in layers with a thickness between 0.001 and 0.01 µm.…”

Assessing durability of superhydrophobic surfaces

“…Yanagisawa et al 18 evaluated the abrasion resistance of transparent superhydrophobic coating, fabricated by combining crater-like silica films with boehmite powder. Cui et al 41 prepared SHS with multiscale structures on paint films and tested its durability to the high speed scouring test and in neutral and basic aqueous solutions and in some common organic solvents. Cui et al 42 also studied the stability of four SHS by high-speed current scouring method.…”
