Preparation of stable superhydrophobic film on stainless steel substrate by a combined approach using electrodeposition and fluorinated modification

One-step electrodeposition of a self-cleaning and corrosion resistant Ni/WS2superhydrophobic surface

“…14 18 Tian et al fabricated a superhydrophobic nickel surface by coupling electro and electroless deposition. 19 Liang et al and Chen et al modified the superhydrophobic nickel-based coating using organic FAS-13 15 and myristic acid 20 respectively. In summary, these coatings were prepared either by relatively complex electrodeposition (i.e.…”

Relationship between the structure and water repellency of nickel–cobalt alloy coatings prepared by electrodeposition process

“…This phenomenon relates to the variation of nucleation and growth rates of deposits. The effect of over-potential enhances with the increase of current density [22]. As a result, the nucleation rate of deposits becomes higher than the growth rate leading to a finer structure.…”

Design of submicron structures with superhydrophobic and oleophobic properties on zinc substrate

“…The understanding of the functions provided by objects and processes found in nature has guided us to imitate and fabricate hydrophobic or oleophobic films because the superhydrophobic or oleophobic surfaces could provide many practical applications, such as corrosion resistance [5], self-cleaning property [6], drag reduction [7], and oil-water separation [8].…”
