Abstract:

In order to realize the realistic applications of hydrophobic surfaces in large scales, its essential to develop new methods for the fabrication of these surfaces at low cost. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel and inexpensive method to prepare hydrophobic thin films on glass substrates. At first, we applied polydimethylsiloxane to modify the glass substrates, followed by adding nanocandle soot particles onto the surface of polydimethylsiloxane. After solidification in blast oven, we obtained the hydrophobic surfaces on the glass substrates. The resultant surfaces with contact angle of 143^oexhibit remarkable hydrophobic properties. This new method is very simple and holds great potential in the widespread practical production of hydrophobic surfaces.
