Preparation of Raspberry-like Superhydrophobic SiO2 Particles by Sol-gel Method and Its Potential Applications

Raspberry‐like SiO2 particles with a nano‐micro‐binary structure were prepared by a simple sol‐gel method using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) as precursors. The chemical components and morphology of the SiO2 particles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spect...
