Superhydrophobic optically transparent silica films formed with a eutectic liquid
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A eutectic liquid (choline chloride and urea) that served as a templating agent in sol–gel processing was used to prepare thin silica films on glass microscope slides. Subsequent extraction of the eutectic liquid yielded a film with a rough surface. After treating the film surface with a fluoroalkyl silane, the surface became superhydrophobic with a contact angle ∼ 170° and a contact angle hysteresis
