Abstract:Superhydrophobic surfaces offer innovative solutions, particularly in water/oil separation systems, as they repel water and attract oil, enabling efficient separation. The study aimed to analyze coatings developed on galvanized steel and aluminum, regarding their wettability in saline water and diesel oil, aiming for applications in the oil and gas industry. Specimens underwent texturizing, in-situ growth of layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH) film and modification with stearic acid (STA). Both LDH films exhib… Show more
