Robust Superhydrophobic Coating for Aluminum Surfaces
Simple dip coat process, followed by rinsing and drying; no heat treatment requiredCoating with tunable nanoporosity and thickness, based on bath concentration and temperatureRobust chemically bonded coating, compared to spray-on polymer coatings which are prone to abrasive and thermal degradationCoating not affected by acidic and basic conditions and UV exposureAbsence of water on cooling surfaces, decreases impedance to air flow, thus decreasing power usage of heat exchangers and air conditioners
