Abstract:Corrosion and biofouling are wetting‐related phenomena that limit the effective use of metals in aqueous media. Nonwettable surfaces can mitigate the adverse effects of wetting by minimizing contact with water. However, current achievements in this field fall short of meeting industrial requirements due to the short lifetime of plastrons. This study proposes a method to measure the protective sustainability of plastron. Superhydrophobic (SHS) and aerophilic (APhS) surfaces are constructed on lightweight alumin… Show more
