Abstract:Abstract. In this work, we studied influence of fluoropolymer thin film deposition on wettability of the silicon oxide nanowires array. Deposition of fluoropolymer coating on the silicon oxide nanowires array changes the surface properties from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, and micro and nano scale surface roughness does not change significantly. In addition, it was shown that the deposition of fluoropolymer coating on nanowires protects the nanostructures from bundling together as a result of the attractive cap… Show more
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.
