Fabrication of micro-/nano-structured superhydrophobic ceramic coating with reversible wettability via a novel solution precursor vacuum plasma spray process

A novel plasma spray process, solution precursor vacuum plasma spray, was developed and used to fabricate superhydrophobic ceramic coatings. By injecting Yb(NO3)3 solution into a plasma jet operated at low pressure, a crystalline Yb2O3 coating was deposited that exhibited hierarchical structures wit...
