Abstract
Surface modification through coating has recently attracted significant attention as a practical approach to mitigating various types of damage, such as dust accumulation, pollution, and icing. Altering surface wettability to achieve superhydrophobicity, with contact angles exceeding 150°, has proven highly effective in such cases. This research aims to enhance the wettability of an aluminum substrate by employing plasma electrolytic oxidation techniques combined with a secondary nanocomposite polymer coating. The objective is to transform the surface from hydrophilic, or water-attracting, to superhydrophobic, or highly water-repellent. When ceramic-polymer nanocomposite coatings are applied, the contact angle of 167° confirms the superhydrophobic properties of the treated aluminum surface.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications of colloids and interfacial phenomena.
The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.
