Fabrication of Mechanically Robust Superhydrophobic Coating on Aluminium Surface
Abstract
In this research, a simple and cheap method was presented to make aluminum surface superhydrophobic. By simply spraying the mixture of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles and bonding agents, the superhydrophobic surface was obtained, which showed high water contact angle (∼162°) and low sliding angle (2°). More interesting, this kind of coating exhibited excellent self-cleaning property. Furthermore, this coating retained superhydrophobicity after the damage of knife-scratch.
