A self-modification approach toward transparent superhydrophobic glass for rainproofing and superhydrophobic fiberglass mesh for oil–water separation
Abstract(#br)A method employing one kind of material both for the construction of rough morphology and the chemical modification is called self-modification by us, which has not been reported in fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces so far. In this paper, taking candle soot as an intermediate, we created rough, superhydrophilic and transparent surfaces on glass trough calcination of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) at 550\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003e°C.
