Preparation and Property of a Superhydrophobic Glass Sealant

Article Preview

Abstract:

The recipe of silicone glass sealant was studied, and the influence of crosslinking agent, plasticiser and reinforcing agent on its property was investigated. After compositing the glass sealant with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanoparticles, a novel superhydrophobic silicone/PTFE glass sealant was obtained with contact angle of water more than 150o, and the effect of PTFE nanoparticles on superhydrophobicity of the nanocomposites was researched.
