A heatshield for 'never-wet' surfaces: Engineers repel even near-boiling water with low-cost, scalable coating
Superhydrophobic surfaces—those famously "never-wet" materials that make water bead up and roll away—have a stubborn weakness: hot water. Once temperatures climb above roughly 40 degrees Celsius, many ...
A multilayered insulated superhydrophobic (MISH) coating capable of repelling near-boiling water, hot milk, coffee and soup that promises to help never-wet surfaces stay effective even at high ...
An international group of scientists investigated the use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) as an anti-reflection coating for polycrystalline silicon solar cells. “The primary ...
Fascinated by the beauty of water rolling off a lotus leaf, a team of chemical engineers has now created a similar superhydrophobic coating that can be used to save steel from rusting. The team from ...
