Abstract

The development of anticorrosion coatings on copper has raised tremendous interest in material science. Using a milling method, regular rough structures were fabricated, and after chemical deposition with AgNO3 solution and the modification of stearic acid, a superhydrophobic copper substrate could be obtained. The surface morphological study showed a dendritic microstructure, and a rectangular surface bulge produced by milling was distributed on the copper substrate. The coatings showed the surface water contact angle could be as high as 158.4°. The best anti-corrosion coating was the sample milled with the cutter tip distance of 0.30 mm. The as-prepared superhydrophobic sample has a good self-cleaning effect. Scratched with a knife and abraded by friction, the copper substrate still maintained good superhydrophobic nature. The coating was mechanically stable and possessed good corrosion resistance.
