Study of Hydrophobic Coating over Various Substrates Using an Industrial Coating-Bar Technique

Abstract:

Si Wafer, pre-weathered TiZn alloy (TiZn-P), Aluminum (Al), and hot-dipped galvalume steel (G.L.) are chosen in this work for the study of hydrophobic coating to various substrates. Various amounts of TS-720 hydrophobic nanoparticles were mixed into ITRI hydrophobic agent (H.A.), and this mixture liquid was applied onto different material surfaces by using a coating bar technique. High contact angle near 140^o are achieved in all samples with 2.5 wt% TS-720 in ITRI H.A. mixture.
