Fabrication of superhydrophobic TiO2 quadrangular nanorod film with self-cleaning, anti-icing properties
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Superhydrophobic TiO2 quadrangular nanorod film was fabricated by hydrothermal reaction and stearic acid modification. X-ray diffractometer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer were employed to characterize the surface crystal structures and chemical compositions of the superhydrophobic TiO2 film, respectively. The effects of the titanium source (titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP)) amount and reaction time on the morphology and wettability of the TiO2 film were studied by scanning electron microscope and contact angle meter. The results show that the diameter of the TiO2 quadrangular nanorods increases and then the water contact angle on modified TiO2 film decreases with the increase of the reaction time and TTIP amount. Moreover, when the TTIP amount is 0.3 mL and solvent is 30 mL, the wetted state of the superhydrophobic TiO2 film surface conforms to an improved Cassie model. Besides, the superhydrophobic TiO2 film shows good low adhesion, self-cleaning and anti-icing properties. Particularly, the anti-icing property decreases with the increase of the reaction time and TTIP amount.
