Fabrication of an Organo-Fluoride–Free Hydrophobic Film Using the Sol-Gel Method by Factors Screening and Poly-Acrylic Acid Addition
Improving silica film’s contact angle (CA) using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and iso-butyltrimethoxysilane (iso-BTMS) by the sol-gel method without adding organo-fluoride substances is of interest. Five factors, namely type of solvent, molar ratio and amounts of TEOS and iso-BTMS, mixing intensity, sol...
