Assessment of roughness and chemical modification in determining the hydrophobic properties of metals
Larmour, Iain A.; Saunders, Graham C.; Bell, Steven E.J. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2008)“Etch and coat” methods, potentially useful for large scale production of superhydrophobic surfaces on metals, have been extended by introduction of a thin 20 nm Au interlayer which allowed thiol surface modifiers to be ... -
Compressed metal powders that remain superhydrophobic after abrasion
Larmour, Iain A.; Saunders, Graham C.; Bell, Steven E.J. (ACS Publications, 2010)Superhydrophobic “lotus effect” materials are typically not sufficiently robust for most real world applications because their small surface features are both easily damaged and vulnerable to fouling. Here, a method for ... -
Remarkable simple fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces using electroless galvanic deposition
Larmour, Iain A.; Saunders, Graham C.; Bell, Steven E.J. (Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007)Much of the recent research on hydrophobic materials has been inspired by the water-repellent nature of lotus leaves (Nelumbo nucifera and N. lutea), which show a double roughness on their surfaces (nanohairs on microbumps) ... -
Sheets of large superhydrophobic metal particles self assembled on water by the Cheerios effect
Larmour, Iain A.; Saunders, Graham C.; Bell, Steven E.J. (Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008)Surface tension in water gives rise to a variety of phenomena some of which, such as the rise of water inside hydrophilic tubes under capillary action or the ability of pond skaters to walk on the surface of water, are so ...
