Nanotextured and polytetrafluoroethylene-coated superhydrophobic surface

Synthesis of superhydrophobic surfaces by polytetrafluoroethylene coating on rectangular grid microstructures

“…However, a drawback to their method is that it requires an extra process to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces. As previously discussed [20][21][22], we have shown that the combination of micro and nano-textured structures in combination with a fluorinated polymer coating can maximise hydrophobicity. However, this method still requires a specialised technical process to form the nanostructures on the surface microstructures.…”

Effects on micropyramid and nanoneedle structures for superhydrophobicity on Si surface

“…In this study, we aim to investigate and optimize a surface with hierarchical structures. Our previous work [22] focused on the effects on the nanostructures and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thickness as parameters influencing hydrophobicity. However, in this study, we focused on the size of micropyramid and nanoneedle structures as parameters influencing hydrophobicity.…”

Enhanced transmittance of ITO/Ag(Cr)/ITO (IAI) multi-layered thin films by high temperature annealing

“…The three major areas of applications of the TCO thin films are flat panel displays [1], solar cells [2][3][4], and energy efficient architectural glass coatings [5][6][7]. In general, these TCO materials served as a transparent conducting window for a large variety of electro-optical devices [1][2][3]. ITO is the better choice for TCO materials, due to its electrooptical properties and etching characteristics [8].…”
