What Methods are Used to Create Superhydrophobic Surfaces?
Several methods are used to create superhydrophobic surfaces, including:
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where volatile precursors react on a substrate to form a thin film. - Electrospinning: A technique to create fibrous mats with nanoscale diameters. - Layer-by-Layer Assembly: A method to build multilayer coatings through successive adsorption of oppositely charged species. - Plasma Treatment: Utilizes plasma to modify the surface energy and roughness at the nanoscale.
