Fluorine Based Superhydrophobic Coatings

Fluorine Based Superhydrophobic Coatings

Superhydrophobic coatings, inspired by nature, are an emerging technology. These water repellent coatings can be used as solutions for corrosion, biofouling and even water and air drag reduction applications. In this work, synthesis of monodispersive silica nanoparticles of ~120 nm diameter has been...
