Superhydrophobic RTV Silicone Rubber Coatings on Anodized Aluminium Surfaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

A superhydrophobic surface was elaborated using two inexpensive industrial processes: surface anodization in phosphoric acid and spin coating of the anodized surface by RTV silicone rubber. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopic (AFM) and water contact angle measurements have been performed to characterize the morphological features, and wettability of the surfaces. The water static contact angle of the elaborated surface reached 157 ° at room temperature. At supercool temperature (-10°C) the superhydrophobic coating showed an important delayed freezing time.
