Progress in the Preparation and Application of Superhydrophobic Surfaces for Micro and Nano Structures
In nature,such as lotus leaves and water swallows,exhibit excellent superhydrophobic properties due to their unique micro and nano structures and low surface energy properties.Constructing superhydrophobic materials with biomi-metic properties and play an important role in them.This paper presents some results achieved in recent years on superhy-drophobic materials and reviews the research progress of various methods such as template method,laser etching method,plasma treatment method,electrostatic spinning technique,electrochemical etching,phase separation method.The appli-cations of superhydrophobic materials in self-cleaning,anti-icing,oil-water separation,anti-corrosion and drag reduc-tion are also presented.Finally,the preparation and application of superhydrophobic surfaces are summarized,and the fu-ture direction of preparing superhydrophobic surfaces is also discussed.
