Superhydrophobic surfaces, which have anti-adhesion and self-cleaning properties, were fabricated on Al substrates. The self-cleaning surface was prepared by two steps: firstly, a chemical solution method was used to create the surface roughness with disorderly veins micronanostructures. Secondly, fluoroalkylsilane was deposited on the rough surface to lower its surface energy. The combination of veins micronanostructures and fluoroalkylsilane modification gave the surface a superhydrophobicity with static water contact angle of 166° and sliding angle of smaller than 1°. Additionally, the surface showed a strong anti-adhesion with water and a satisfied self-cleaning property. Water droplets easily rolled off the surface and picked up dirt and debris with them. The surfaces obviously corresponded to Cassie (not Wenzel) -model. Air entrapped within the veins microstructures greatly increases the air/water interface, effectively preventing the penetration of water into the grooves, and finally exhibiting the self-cleaning property. The results will greatly extend Al substrates for specific functions such as water-repellence, self-cleaning and anti-fouling.

Nine pyrazolone derivatives have been studied by anodic voltammetry using gold self-cleaning rotating electrode (SRE). Voltamograms of good reproducibility are presented. On the basis of voltammetric data a mechanism is proposed for the electrochemical oxidation of sodium 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-4-(N-methylamino)pyrazol-5-one-N-methansulphonate and 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-4-(dimethylamino)pyrazol-5-one in protic medium.

In this study, self-cleaning polyester (PET) fabrics were prepared using TiOF2 and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane(HDS) treatment. TiOF2 was synthesized via direct fluorination of a precursor TiO2 at various reaction temperatures. The prepared PET fabrics had superior photocatalytic self-cleaning properties compared with anatase TiO2/HDS-treated PET fabrics under UV and sunlight with 98% decomposition of methylene blue. TiOF2/HDS-treated PET fabrics also had superior superhydrophobic self-cleaning properties compared with anatase TiO2/HDS-treated PET fabrics with a 161° water contact angle and 6° roll-off angle. After the self-cleaning tests of the non-dyed TiOF2/HDS-treated PET fabrics, we prepared dyed TiOF2/HDS-treated PET fabrics to test practical aspects of the treatment method. These PET fabrics were barely stained by tomato ketchup; even when stained, they could be self-cleaned within 4 h. These results suggest that practical self-cleaning PET fabrics with superhydrophobicity and photocatalytic degradation could be prepared using TiOF2/HDS-treatment.
