Fabrication and Performances of MTMS/TMCS Bilayer Transparent Superhydrophobic Silica Coating
نویسندگان
چکیده
The superhydrophobic silica coating has a great performance of self-cleaning which can be applied in the field of energy saving, anti-icing, drag reduction, etc. In this paper, Trimethyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) /Trimethylchlorosilan (TMCS) superhydrophobic silica coating with two-layer structure was dip-coated. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images show that the surface morphology of MTMS/TMCS silica coating was in micro and nano level, and Sa value was 231nm, which could achieve good superhydrophobic performance. MTMS/TMCS silica coating has better superhydrophobic performance than MTMS silica coating. The largest contact angle (CA) of MTMS/TMCS silica coating could reach 155.2°, the sliding angle was less than 10°. The MTMS/TMCS silica coating also has good performance of transmittance in the range of visible light and self-cleaning, the transmittance rate could reach more than 95%. All good performances of the MTMS/TMCS silica coating are from its micro and nano surface structure. Modification of TMCS solution would generate a more stable functional group. Keywords-superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, dip-coated, trimethylchlorosilane, micro and nano structure

Optically transparent superhydrophobic silica-based films were obtained by means of sol–gel processing and self-assembly (SA). Desired surface roughness was obtained by tuning the microstructures of the sol–gels through careful control of hydrolysis and condensation reactions of various silica precursors during sol–gel processing, whereas modification of surface chemistry was done by introducin...
