What Challenges Exist in Developing Superhydrophobic Surfaces?
Despite the promising applications, there are several challenges in developing superhydrophobic surfaces:
- Durability: Maintaining superhydrophobic properties under mechanical abrasion and environmental wear is difficult. - Scalability: Producing superhydrophobic surfaces on a large scale while keeping costs low is challenging. - Chemical Stability: Ensuring that the superhydrophobic coatings remain stable under exposure to various chemicals and UV radiation.
