Improved adhesion of superhydrophobic layer on metal surfaces via one step spraying method

Superhydrophobic metal substrates have been fabricated by a simple spraying method. The processes of decreasing surface free energy and increasing surface roughness have been accomplished in one step via the addition of functionalized silica (silica nano particles with octyltriethoxysilane) to adhes...
