Abstract:

Superhydrophobic surfaces of n-hexatriacontane were fabricated in a single-step process. The low surface energy of n-hexatriacontane together with the randomly distributed micro- and nanoscale roughness features guarantees very large contact angles and a small roll-off angle for water drops. The advantage of n-hexatriacontane superhydrophobic surfaces is their stability in the sense that they are impervious to chemical reactions and retain their wetting characteristics over a long period of time, as confirmed by XPS analysis and contact angle measurements.
