Durable Electro‐Photothermal Superhydrophobic Coatings Based on Liquid‐Like Functionalization of Nanoparticles: Improved Water Repellency and Droplet Rebound (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 2/2026)
Source abstract
Abstract
Slippery Superhydrophobic Surfaces Linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) incorporated into an epoxy-silicone matrix create durable superhydrophobic coatings with enhanced water repellency and droplet rebound, surpassing conventional alkyl functionalization. Electro- and photothermal actions can restore water repellency and mitigate icing. More details can be found in the Research Article by Jia Min Chin and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/admi.202500706).
