Research progress in improving the durability of superhydrophobic surfaces
Superhydrophobic materials are widely used due to their extraordinary wetting properties.However,most of the superhydrophobic surfaces currently prepared have poor durability,which severely limits their practical applications.Starting from the superhydrophobic mechanism,this article introduced the failure mechanism of superhydrophobic surfaces and reviewed the methods to improve the durability of superhydrophobic surfaces in recent years,including constructing multi-level micro-nano rough structures on material surfaces,adding adhesives,preparing integrated structures or self-healing superhydrophobic surfaces.Finally,some issues related to superhydrophobic surfaces were summarized,and their future development prospects were discussed.
