Abstract:Functionalized nano‐SiO2 is an inorganic compound that exhibits hydrophobic properties upon the addition of a silane group through a chemical reaction. This property is highly effective in surface modification for various substrates, including glass, metal, and ceramics. These surface modifications find applications in self‐cleaning, anti‐fogging coatings, and water‐repellent materials. In this work, the role of nano‐SiO2 and Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) functionalized nano‐SiO2 has been synthesized succe… Show more
