Abstract Great attention has been focused on super-hydrophobic surfaces due to their fantastic applications. Fluoride chemicals are widely used fabricate convenience, simplicity, and high efficiency. Previous research made extensively efforts corrosion resistance of fluorinated in corrosive media. Nevertheless, rare papers the underlying reasons anticorrosion property stability mechanism coatin...

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) have gained significant attention by promising renewable electricity without concerns of additional space, environmental damage, and maintenance problems. However, silicon-based BIPVs generally limit aesthetic appearance due to their monotonous dark blue modules. In addition, maintaining performance is challenging because BIPV modules are easily contami...

Salt spray splashing on the structural surfaces of ships is a common difficulty in polar navigation. In this paper, experiments are designed to study variation growth peak pure water droplets surface hydrophobic coating with contact angle 90°, and numerical simulation method verified according experiment. The calculated by consistent experiment, calculation error freezing time obtained less tha...

Abstract Hydrophobic surfaces have gained a vast attention in different fields of biomedical applications over the last few years. Laser treatment has been shown as promising technology for generation functional, inter alia, superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study picosecond Yb-YAG laser was assigned characteristics on steel alloy with application surgical instrumentation. Regarding ablation e...
