Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Surfaces from Microstructured ZnO-Based Surfaces via a Wet-Chemical Route

The fabrication of a superhydrophobic surface is demonstrated via a wet chemical route, and this methodoffers advantages of being cleanroom free, cost efficiency, and wide applicability. The preferable growthof ZnO crystalline forms a microstructured surface, and a variety of alkanoic acids were adopted to tunethe surface wettability. Although all surfaces show an advancing contact ang..
