In this work, we present a method to render stainless steel surfaces superhydrophobic while
maintaining their corrosion resistance. Creation of surface roughness on 304 and 316 grade …

Biological creatures with unique surface wettability have long served as a source of
inspiration for scientists and engineers. More specifically, materials exhibiting extreme …

The integration of nanometer-sized fillers into polymer matrices to create nanocomposite
materials has attracted a great deal of interest, not only because these materials can be …

Superhydrophobic silica films were deposited onto mild steel substrate for the purpose of
corrosion protection. The superhydrophobicity was obtained by one-step electrodeposition …

Potentiostatic electrolysis was carried out to prepare super-hydrophobic film on the surface
of metallic zinc. The resultant film was examined by field emission scanning electron …

Superhydrophobic coating was fabricated by spraying the mixture of poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) and hydrophobic silica nanoparticles (SNs) on steel surface. Anti …

We developed a simple fabrication method to prepare a superamphiphobic aluminum
surface. On the basis of a low-energy surface and the combination of micro-and nanoscale …

Thin films of zinc have been deposited on steel substrates by electrodeposition process and
further functionalized with ultra-thin films of commercial silicone rubber, in order to obtain …

Zinc batteries have great potential as future energy storage devices due to their low cost and
high energy density. Electrolyte additives have been developed for perfecting the …

With the objective of developing materials with repellent surfaces by combining both low
surface energy and rough structure, superhydrophobic fluoropolymer films were prepared …
