Superhydrophobic surfaces (water contact angles higher than 150º) can only be achieved by a combination of hydrophobicity (low surface energy materials) with appropriate surface texture. In nature one can find an array of impressive and elegant examples of superhydrophobic surfaces. For example, on a lotus leaf rain drops bounce off after impact, then entirely roll off the lotus leaf and drag along any dirt particles, without leaving residues. The artificial design of superhydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces has become an extremely active area of fundamental and applied research.This book presents both fundamental and applied aspects of superhydrophobic surfaces. It describes also different strategies for making superhydrophobic surfaces from a large diversity of materials (polymers, metals and other inorganic materials, composites) and processes (lithographic techniques, electrochemical processes, self-assembly processes, colloidal particles, sol-gel processes, nanofilaments, or simple scraping).A bountiful of information is covered in this book which represents cumulative wisdom of many world-renowned researchers in the fascinating and burgeoning area of superhydrophobic surfaces.

Surface properties play critical roles in determining the durability and overall performance of polymeric materials for applications in many different fields. Recent investigations on naturally superhydrophobic surfaces such as plant leaves and insect wings led to a clear understanding of the close relationship between surface topography, roughness, chemical structure and superhydrophobicity. This led to a dramatic increase in research efforts on the preparation and characterisation of polymeric systems with superhydrophobic surfaces. Current and potential uses of such materials in a wide range of applications also make them commercially very attractive.The main focus of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the new developments regarding the preparation and characterisation of superhydrophobic polymeric surfaces. A large number of methods used in the preparation of robust and durable superhydrophobic polymer surfaces and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Close relationship between the polymer composition, hierarchical micro/nano surface topography and superhydrophobic behavior are provided. In addition to the practical aspects, special emphasis is also given to the discussion of the theoretical foundations of the wetting behavior of rough surfaces.Nature is the ultimate guide for the preparation of functional materials and surfaces. As discussed in detail in the book, using biomimetic approaches it is possible to design and produce superhydrophobic surfaces with interesting functionalities. The most critical tasks for the scientists and engineers working in the field seem to be; (i) to clearly understand the relations between surface compositions, topography and surface properties; (ii) to develop simple laboratory techniques and commercially viable production methods to produce superhydrophobic surfaces and devices mimicking the natural systems; and (iii) to demonstrate novel applications in research laboratory and develop commercial applications for these materials with smart and multifunctional surfaces.This book provides a clear understanding of the theoretical foundations of superhydrophobicity together with practical experimental guidance for the preparation of such polymeric surfaces to researchers and application engineers working in the field.

Materials with superhydrophobic or related properties are one of the most studied subjects from a theoretical point of view and also for the large range of possible applications, for example, anticorrosion, antibacteria, optical devices, and sensors. The study of natural species with special wettability has shown us the importance of surface structures and the surface energy of the resulting surface properties. Various strategies can be used to reproduce superhydrophobic phenomena in the laboratory. General reviews on superhydrophobic properties already exist but, to our knowledge, do not focus on metallic and inorganic materials. Here, we focus especially on the strategies implemented for reaching superhydrophobic or related properties using metallic and inorganic materials. Indeed, these materials present unique properties, for example, thermal and mechanical resistance, chemical and ageing resistance, and optical (transparency, antireflection, photoluminescence) and electrical properties (conducting, semiconducting, insulating). This book will be useful for graduate students of materials chemistry and physics and for researchers in surface science, nanostructures, and bioinspired or biomimetic materials.

A comprehensive and systematic treatment that focuses on surfaces and interfaces phenomena inhabited in biomimetic superhydrophobic materials, offering new fundamentals and novel insights. As such, this new book covers the natural surfaces, fundamentals, fabrication methods and exciting applications of superhydrophobic materials, with particular attention paid to the smart surfaces that can show switchable and reversible water wettability under external stimuli, such as pH, temperature, light, solvents, and electric fields. It also includes recent theoretical advances of superhydrophobic surfaces with regard to the wetting process, and some promising breakthroughs to promote this theory. As a result, materials scientists, physicists, physical chemists, chemical engineers, and biochemists will benefit greatly from a deeper understanding of this topic.

Superhydrophobic surfaces, with a water contact angle >150°, have attracted both academic and industrial interest due to their wide range of applications, such as water proofing, anti-fogging, antifouling, anti-icing, fluidic drag reduction and anti-corrosion. Currently the majority of superhydrophobic coatings are created using organic chemicals with low surface energy. However, the lack of mechanical strength and heat resistance prevents the use of these coatings in harsh environments. Quality superhydrophobic coatings developed using inorganic materials are therefore highly sought after. Ceramics are of particular interest due to their high mechanical strength, heat and corrosion resistance. Such superhydrophobic coatings have recently been successfully fabricated using a variety of ceramics and different approaches, and have shown the improved wear and tribocorrosion resistance properties. This Special Issue will focus on the recent developments in the fabrication of superhydrophobic coatings and their robustness against corrosion and wear resistance, but the original work on other properties of superhydrophobic coatings are also welcome. In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Robust superhydrophobic coatings; - Coatings with super-wettability in multifunctional applications; - Wetting effects on corrosion and tribology; - Hierarchical Coating for wetting and modelling
