Superhydrophobic Coatings

Mother Earth inspires scientists and researchers worldwide every day to unveil its mysteries. We can imitate biology to create nanomaterials, nanodevices, and processes that have desirable qualities thanks to the recently developed discipline of biomimetics. Applications in both research and industry have shown a unique interest in biomimetic surfaces with specific wettability and adaptability. Thanks to nanotechnology, surface chemistry, and architecture, improvements have made superhydrophobicity a practical goal. Superhydrophobic surfaces are distinctive due to several notable developments, and they are predicted to continue to advance for many years. This chapter will focus on the most up-to-date developments in the physical characterization of numerical modeling, experimental methods, and practical uses of superhydrophobic surfaces. Superhydrophobic coatings, which are mechanically stable, thermally inert, and chemically inert, have vast promise in every area of human life. The biological, culinary, and aerospace industries could all benefit significantly from using superhydrophobic materials.
