Mimicking the Nature to Achieve Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Vapor Phase Deposition
Keyword(s):
AbstractA novel technique was developed to create superhydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface using nanosecond pulse electron deposition (PED) technique. The PTFE or Teflon thin films deposited on silicon substrate showed superhydrophobicity evidenced by the contact angle of 166±2 degrees. The SEM micrographs reveal the clustered growth of the deposited film and two level sub-micron asperities which is corroborated by the AFM. FTIR and contact angle studies were conducted to study the chemical nature and the wetting properties of the films.
