Self-cleaning surfaces based on lotus effect with a very high static water contact angle
greater than 160° and a lower roll-off angle have been successfully studied by researchers …

Infections, contaminations, and biofouling resulting from micro-and/or macro-organisms
remained a prominent threat to the public health, food industry, and aqua-/marine-related …

Advancements in the fabrication and study of superhydrophobic surfaces have been
significant over the past 10 years, and some 20 years after the discovery of the lotus effect …

Superhydrophobic coatings are increasingly being evaluated as anticorrosion interventions
in exceedingly hydrated environments. However, concerns about their long-term durability …

Various surface modification technologies have been used to develop superhydrophobic
surface, however their durability has been recognized as the major obstacle for the real …

Waterborne superhydrophobic coatings have attracted tremendous attention recently, but
their practical applications are severely limited by hydrophobic instability and poor …
