UNLABELLED ZnO structures were deposited using a simple chemical bath deposition technique onto interdigitated electrodes fabricated by a conventional photolithography method on SiO2/Si substrates. The X-ray diffraction studies show that the ZnO samples have a hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structure. The scanning electron microscopy observations prove that the substrates are uniformly covered ...

A universal infrastructural issue is wetting of surfaces; millions dollars are invested annually for rehabilitation and maintenance infrastructures including roadways buildings to fix the damages caused by moisture frost. The biomimicry lotus leaf can provide superhydrophobic surfaces that repel water droplets, thus reducing penetration moisture, which linked with many deterioration mechanisms ...
