Abstract:A superhydrophobic surface with excellent corrosion resistance was prepared on sandblasted AISI 304 stainless steel by applying stearic acid through dip-coating. Superhydrophobic surfaces have several advantages, such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-adherent, and anti-corrosion. In this work, roughness and superhydrophobic properties were studied by contact angle, optical profilometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiostatic polarization techniques. The lowest surface wettability was obta… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
