Tribological properties of superhydrophobic aluminium surfaces with extremely high and very low water adhesion

The water adhesion of a superhydrophobic surface depends on its surface microstructure and chemical composition, which in turn affects its tribological properties. In this paper, a simple and environmentally friendly method was employed to fabricate superhydrophobic aluminium surfaces with different water adhesion. The results confirmed that the superhydrophobic aluminium surfaces with different water adhesion had different tribological...
