One-Step Spray-Coating Process for the Fabrication of Colorful Superhydrophobic Coatings with Excellent Corrosion Resistance

Abstract

A simple method was used to generate colorful hydrophobic stearate particles via chemical reactions between inorganic salts and sodium stearate. Colored self-cleaning superhydrophobic coatings were prepared through a facile one-step spray-coating process by spraying the stearate particle suspensions onto stainless steel substrates. Furthermore, the colorful superhydrophobic coating maintains excellent chemical stability under both harsh acidic and alkaline circumstances. After being immersed in a 3.5 wt % NaCl aqueous solution for 1 month, the as-prepared coatings remained superhydrophobic; however, they lost their self-cleaning property with a sliding angle of about 46 ± 3°. The corrosion behavior of the superhydrophobic coatings on the Al substrate was characterized by the polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrochemical corrosion test results indicated that the superhydrophobic coatings possessed excellent corrosion resistance, which could supply efficient and long-term preservation for the bare Al substrate.

Argon Plasma Treatment of Fluorine‐Free Silane Coatings: A Facile, Environment‐Friendly Method to Prepare Durable, Superhydrophobic Fabrics

“…[1][2][3][4] Superhydrophobic fabrics are anticipated to have strong decontamination ability but still maintain the excellent breathability. Three main approaches have been reported to prepare superhydrophobic fabrics: (1) roughening the fiber surface of hydrophobic fabrics (e.g., PET fabrics), (2) roughening fiber surfaces followed by hydrophobic treatment, and (3) modification of fibers with proper chemicals.…”

Oil–Water Separation Using Superhydrophobic PET Membranes Fabricated Via Simple Dip‐Coating Of PDMS–SiO2 Nanoparticles

“…Oil–water separation with SOMs consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNT), various polymers or graphene have recently been attempted in many groups . The SOMs are limited in terms of mass production and real applications due to limited cost‐effective target substrates and complex SOM fabrication procedures …”
