“…98,99 These days, superhydrophobic coatings are manufactured by chemical, physical and/or mechanical modifications of both organic and inorganic materials. 69,[100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113] The opposite term of superhydrophobic is superhydrophilic, defined in the previous contribution. 114 This type of surface is also of great interest at this time, although still some questions regarding its definition remain open.…”

The terms superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity were introduced not very long ago, in 1996 and 2000, respectively.The former is used to describe exceptionally weak and the latter used to indicate strong interactions of materials and IntroductionAfter more than two centuries of research, capillarity and wetting phenomena still remain popular topics of investigation in many modern surface chemistry laboratories. Curiosity and fascination with rain droplets splashing in a puddle, water droplets decorating flowers, leaves of plants and fruits after rain or watering and colorful soap bubbles shaped at the end of wheat straw have never been stronger and go beyond scientific laboratories. Colorful images of liquid droplets and puddles, illustrating their behavior on a variety of surfaces, thrive in professional journals, popular magazines and Internet. However, terms such as wetting, spreading and contact angle are still puzzling to the layman and beginner researcher. To facilitate

Superhydrophobic Properties of Nanotextured Polypropylene Foils Fabricated by Roll-to-Roll Extrusion Coating

et al. 2016

We demonstrate the use of roll-to-roll extrusion coating (R2R-EC) for fabrication of nanopatterned polypropylene (PP) foils with strong antiwetting properties. The antiwetting nanopattern is originated from textured surfaces fabricated on silicon wafers by a single-step method of reactive ion etching with different processing gas flow rates. We provide a systematic study of the wetting properties for the fabricated surfaces and show that a controlled texture stretching effect in the R2R-EC process is instrumental to yield the superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles approaching 160° and droplet roll-off angles below 10°.

Owing to the number of reviews recently published, this one will be confined to polymeric surfaces and some of the unique properties offered by them.…”

Superhydrophobicity is the extreme water repellence of highly textured surfaces. The field of superhydrophobicity research has reached a stage where huge numbers of candidate treatments have been proposed and jumps have been made in theoretically describing them. There now seems to be a move to more practical concerns and to considering the demands of individual applications instead of more general cases. With these developments, polymeric surfaces with their huge variety of properties have come to the fore and are fast becoming the material of choice for designing, developing, and producing superhydrophobic surfaces.
