Studies on Water Repellency of Super-Hydrophobic Surfaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

Development of new material based on bionics has aroused researchers’interests in recent years. Function surfaces could found their application in many areas. Characteristics of super-hydrophobic surfaces were studied in some aspects experimentally, such as the droplet’s behavior on the super-hydrophobic surface, the effects of the organic compound content in water on wettability of the surface, the super hydrophobicity and super oleophilicity and the phase transformation process on the super-hydrophobic surface. It is shown that the super-hydrophobic surfaces have the characters of no-droplet adherence, oleophilic and dropwise condensation. Applications are expected in industries and daily life with those characters.
